Help me decide!
Help me decide! So I have a 97 Trans Am and its coming to the point where I wanna start on my suspension this fall/winter. I want to have all suspension addressed before next spring race season. The 1 thing Im not concerned about is is upper/lower A arms.
The hindrance I think I have is the car came with Ebiach lowering springs. So I've already purchased some LCAs with Relocation brackets to help. My question is, I have a deal and can have some coilovers for a good price. Is going coilovers better than just buying shocks and using my current springs?
They are rear coilover BTW. I was planning on working my way from the rear to the front.

What brand coilovers? What are the spring rates? an adjustable shock with a good rate will be beneficial for you. The eibach's are known for being not so great when it comes to straight line traction. The advantage of a good adjustable shock will be a big step in the right direction. If the deal is good, I wouldn't hesitate to do it

Are they single or double adjustable? Either way, Strange is good stuff. There should be a part number on the springs. That will tell you what the rate is. You want something close to 150lb/inch. Get that part number and we can figure out what they are. Also, do they come with the mounts for an f-body? Are they a stud mount top or bearing mount?

Thanks I appreciate that info. I just dont wanna set myself up for spending $$$ twice. I think Im gonna go ahead and spend money for the S5070 DA shocks and see how they work out with my lowering springs.

Be careful on what you choose for a shock and spring package.. the mounting setups and spring configurations can get messed up easily. Best thing to do is give us a call and we will get you setup with the right parts, correct combinations, and of course the best prices too.
