OK, my car is lowered on Eibach prokit and stock shocks. I have had this setup for around 7 years on the car. The issue that I am having is that the front struts go out to soon. I mean, the actualy strut is ok, but the rubber comes out of the lower mount and cause a nerve wrecking squeek. So, I am in the market for a cost effective improvement since I am laid off work. This has to be fixed! I would like some nice coilovers for the front, but dont want to pay two legs for them. I will be keeping my rear shocks for now since they arent even a year old, but I would like to get better springs. The rear sags pretty good.
Let me know what you think...

I hate a saggy rear.lol.
So what are the new shocks??
I'd look at some re valved SLP Bilsteins but still might have a tough time on worn out springs.

I have new bumpstops on the car. But, I would rather have a coilover because the car is lowered. I ould hate to pay $400 on those revalves and have them to go out due to the car being low.

I am sure you realize now that you cannot have the car ride that low and expect any type of ride quality without going to a higher end coilover type system.
The next best thing would be a set of our lower springs and possibly pair them up with a set of the Bilsteins dampeners when money permits.
Additional information regarding our F-body lowering springs (part# SP001 for the kit) can be found HERE
I also attached a couple of images of customers cars using our springs to give you a ride height perspective-

I will be getting rid of the rear springs and probably go with the BMR's. I love the look of it being slammed. The only thing that gets me now is the front . What type of coilovers should I get?
