Skip the Eibach springs. Buy Strano springs for like $275. You'll be happier with the performance and the drop. Then for shocks you can get his SLP or HD bilsteins for a good price. The Koni's are the best set up but are a lot more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
If you're stuck on Eibach's, you can get Bilsteins or KYB's for cheap.
As it was said already, it depends on your goals. Daily driver or weekend warrior at the track? How much do you have to spend? If you have about a grand, go with koni's. If on a budget, Bilsteins or KYB. it all depends. You need to provide more info than "eibach springs".

Its a DD. I dont race as much, never been to the track. Im looking to spend around 400-500.

Is that how much you want to spend total or just on the shocks? The cheapest shocks you can buy which are still half way decent are the KYB AGX shocks. I run those on the front; theyre not great, but good enough for now. I'm using H&R springs and love them.

From what I hear the Strano springs have amazing spring rates and ride great but don't drop you as much as the Eibachs, so I guess it's what you want. The Eibachs are still great, you can't really go wrong either way if you're not tracking the car and just want improvements in handling/looks.

Hey Mr.z

To answer your original question, KYB AGX's (which are adjustable) and Bilstein HD's and Bilstein SLP's are in your price range.

The AGX's are adjustable from 5% below stock damping to 23% above stock damping value. The Bilstein's are non-adjustable and considered an all-purpose yet good handling, moderately high quality damper.

Koni's are considered the quality and performance leader among mainstream brands but are also approximately twice the cost.

SLP/Eibach/Bilstein has a pretty popular matched set if you don't have your Eibach's yet... ~$675 total

If this is your budget for just shocks then go with a set of the Bilstein's. I have a set of the Eibach springs and I'm rocking the Bilstein's now. They're a pretty budget shock but they are a hell of a lot better than the KYB shocks. The KYB ride like ****, IMO.

I sell Eibach as well as my springs (and others too like H&R, etc). Mine are actually $249, same price as Pro-kits.

I also sell shocks. AGX, Bilstein, Koni, Tokico..... If you are trying to do this on a budget than I'd recommend a set of SLP Bilstein's. I have those in stock for $379.99/set. For me, there is no way I'd run an AGX over a Bilstein on a true street car. Bilstein's work better and are more durable too.

There you go, if you don't have Eibach's yet, Strano and Bilstein team up for the win.

If he's hell bent on Eibach, I can supply those to him as well. In fact I can do it for the same price of $620 as my HP2 (Strano springs/SLP Bilstein's) plus whatever shipping is. No sales tax for anyone who isn't in PA either.

Im looking to spend around 600 all together, or less than that. Im really looking for something that will give it a nice stance, handle better.
Local pep boys have a set of 4 eibach springs for 200. I was looking for a set of a shocks now. 200-300 a set, ones that will work best with eibach springs. I really like the drop it gives, not trying to lower it alot, just about a 1 to a 1 1/2 drop or so.

Give Sam a call. If your sure you want the Eibachs be sure to get the 93-97 LT1 Kit.

At UMI, our products are mostly fabricated suspension pieces. When it comes to springs and shocks you absolutely can't go wrong with whatever Strano recommends. He'll tell you what's best and he can also help you maximize what's best within your budget. Plus he's probably driven on every setup available.

Sweet looking ss!!

Are you sure its the prokit they have, and not sportlines or some knock offs?

Thats a good looking stance, most prokits Ive seen sit lower than that, especially in the rear.
That looks similar to a strano spring stance.

Mr.z/28

Its a Pro kit, thats what he state in his Fquick profile.
i should have bookmarked his page.
