I have eibach springs in the back of my 99 z28 from when I bought it and was wondering if it is supposed to have a really soft rear like when u get on it, it sits down a lot or when u sit in it, it also sits low, does that mean my rear shocks are junk or is it the spring that make it do that?

How many miles on the car? I have read multiple accounts of those Eibachs sagging -- do they appear to sagging? Depending on miles, you may also need new shocks (look into Koni SAs). Also check the condition of your rear bumpstops if you're having these issues.

What kind of Eibachs do you have? They have sportlines, pro-kit, and the SLP Eibachs. I have the SLP Eibachs, and yeah they squat bad. They are generally soft springs.
