new suspension 97' looking at eibach sportline springs, possibly bilstien shocks??? not too up with the F Body suspension game, any recommendations?? the car will be used for summer fun and hit the track once in a while, i wanna go pretty low but i will also be running 18x10.5's in the rear 17x9.5's in front (getting the rims in november). if you guys could recommend some somewhat budget friendly setups it will be awesome!!!! thanks - Levi

If you just want to go low, the Sportlines are a good choice. However, if you want good handling and a comfortable ride, there are MANY better choices out there. Sportlines are notorious for basically making you ride on the bump stops all the time. There are much better lowering springs out there that will give you a drop of around 1.25" if that's enough for you. Some Strano or BMR springs with Koni's (or Bilsteins if you can't swing for them) will ride and perform MUCH better.

Strano's and SLP Bilsteins would be right around $700 then. If the drops enough for you, they'll be worlds better in ride/handling than the Sportlines. If you can afford it tho, the Koni's would be a better choice, but for $700 that wouldn't happen, lol.
