LT1 vs LS1 Eibach Pro Springs So looking at the LT1 Pro kit vs the LS1 Pro kit....
The front springs are different, clearly.. the LT1's are progressive at 377/600, while the LS1's are linear at 400.
But the rears are the same rate, both listed as progressive 80/137. The only difference is the LT1 is listed as a 1.3" drop, while the LS1 is listed as a 1.2" drop.
So my question is..... (On a 93) could you run LT1 Eibach front springs with LS1 Eibach rears without issue? The .1" seems negligible, and if anything will give a VERY subtle raked look, which I like.
Has this ever been done or discussed before? The main reason I'm looking into this is because my buddy gave me a set of brand new Eibach pro springs for the front, and now I need a set of rears. I see tons of the LS1 springs up for sale, but the LT1 seems harder to come by.

If you're looking for that kind of a drop, as stated, look at Strano or BMR. I've always heard that the LT1 Pro Kit has the better rates of the two, regardless of if you have an LT1 or no, and I've heard of sagging issues, but I don't know if it's the LT1, LS1 or both....
Basically, I would look at the Strano or BMR, but if you have to go with Eibach get the LT1.
