FYI, make sure you get the LS1 Sportlines, NOT the LT1 Sportlines. There's a big difference in the spring rate between the two. The LT1 Sportlines spring rates are way to low for the drop the spring give the car.

PM sent .

Hmmm, wonder if those with the best price would spend over half an hour on the phone with you @ 7pm......

I'd hope that you'd support those that took the time to try and help you in the first place. Those that sell for cheap, usually can because they don't spend time helping or have store fronts to pay for, or good advice to offer.

I've had Eibachs and went to G2s and then finally cobbled together my own coil over kit.

Eibachs were just too soft.

I really liked the G2s and they were on my street car when I sold it.

For the race car, I found the pieces necessary to build my own coil-over kit. This allows the owner to dial in the ride height he/she likes and needs for handling or ground clearance.

PM me if you want to know where to source the parts.

I'd sell you my Sportlines if I still had them. If you've talked to Sam then you probably already know they're low low low and they're a lot easier to compress than stock springs. I was bouncing off the bumpstops all the time but my shocks are also wornout.

My experience with eibach's have been bad they only last for so long and they get softer and sag! My car rode like **** even with koni's until I got the BMR's on.
just my .02, go with strano's or bmr's.

I appreciate the help over the phone, but i dont think its necessary to throw it back at me now that i'm looking elswhere. Your springs do not offer the appearance/stance i'm looking for

I'd hope that you'd support those that took the time to try and help you in the first place. Those that sell for cheap, usually can because they don't spend time helping or have store fronts to pay for, or good advice to offer. Well if thats the case, maybe you should tell people up front who call, your not going to help if they dont buy your product. I want to buy these springs as cheap as possible as if they are ****, i did not pay top dollar. I hear nothing but praise about you and your springs -the proof is on this forum so thats why i called. I informed you Sam i would buy shocks from you or maybe now i should throw up a thread on that.
I've looked at 100's of pics and love the sportline look. I've also taken measurements and photos(which i will post on a diff thread) heater hose mod is first up and i would like to get under there and actually try to find the brand name of springs i have. I do know the springs i have are off my old 93 z28 from 1997.

Just my .02, I loved the sportline look too but that shitty ride got old quick, then they get worse as time goes on. Take a look at my car, that's a full UMI suspension + k member and tubular uppers and lowers, 9in, and BMR springs and KONI shocks. And man what a difference. I fell in love with my car again. The only reason I'm telling you is so you don't spend money now and later have to spend money elsewhere, either cause you got sick of it or because something got f'd up. Just my .02

Tell me what you think ...

Wow are you serious? Wow, I understand the rear is a little higher because of the 9in but trust me with headers, I have very little clearance. But my ride is better than the guys with those sportlines. I know that for a fact.

I've had Sportlines and longtubes on my car since 1997 and I don't have a problem with ride quality. I also don't have a problem with firm riding vehicles though.
