Lowering advice please...

I'm putting z06 wheels on my WS6 in the next couple weeks. 17 up front and 18 in the back. I'm also getting some Eibach springs. Should I go with the Pro Kit and lower it 1 -1.5 inches or the Sportline Springs and lower it 1.75-2.25 inches? Will the Sportlines be too low with the 18 wheel in the back? Any advice or comments are appreciated!

Unless the roads where you live are pretty decent I would stay away from the sportlines and get the prokits.

Get the pro-kit the sportline's are to low for everyday driving.

if you are doing the install yourself, do shocks while you have the suspension apart...so you dont have to do it twice

If you drop over an inch you might want to look into a bumpsteer kit. I had bad bumpsteer on my 1.5 Eibach drop but I changed from Eibachs to BMRs and Dropped about 1 in instead. My car is perfect now height and ride but I also went to Bilsteens with the BMR springs.

I run the sportlines and have no problems. I used to daily drive this car to. I don't think its bad at all you just have to watch what you go over... and chicago doesn't exactly have the best roads either. You can see more picture's at my website.
