Default Eibach Pro-kit

Just bought an eibach pro-kit from lmperformance. Yes I know but just wanted to post in here to see how some people like them, what else did you install along with them? I'll just run the springs for now until I get shocks.

I'll post pics when I install them next week.

Unfortunately, the previous owner put an Eibach Prokit on the car without doing anything else like changing out the (stock! at 123k!) shocks, or buying an adjustable panhard bar...so it doesn't ride so good.

Looks mean. But would prefer a new set of shocks and springs that raise the car a bit for comfort and driveability (i.e., Strano springs and Koni shocks...)

I have the Pro Kit with Monroe shocks and love it. My car has LCA on it and relocation brackets waiting to go on.

IMO wait to install them until you can at least put a lower level shock on.

Ride height is perfect IMO.

I've got the LT1 Pro-Kit with SLP Bilsteins. It's a little bit rougher going over railroad tracks and potholes but dips and other imperfections are smoother. My other mods are in my signature.

I don't know how long I'll be able to take looking at the gap created from the 17s I just bought lol.
I have 18x9 c6 z06 wheels now, I purchased 17x9.5 all around because I was tired of paying soo much for tires. Gap wasn't that bad with 18's, I know its gonna be enormous with the 17s

Will bilstein shocks work pretty good with the pro-kit?? Checked out stranoparts.com looks like some pretty good deals...
