Hey all, this is my first post on ls1 tech!
I have a 98 z28 and the shocks and springs are shot. I want to go back to stock replacement and give the car and nice ride. I'm sick of going over bumps and hearing the rear end smack my bump stops! I heard the eibach slp springs give the car a 1inch drop, would you guys recommend it?

Please give me your opinions of shock and spring replacement!!!

Are you sure the springs are shot?

Jonarin

Yes. Car has 125k on it and it has the stock springs and shocks. Car appears and looks lowered but they are definitely shot.

I think those SLP are like $300 bucks aren't they? If so I'd do what I did instead. I did the BMR springs for about $200 and then did a thicker spacer so I only dropped maybe 3/4" over stock. The Koni STR.T and Bilsteins shocks are a great replacement and value as well

I found a used set with 15k on them for 150. What should I get for shocks? And should I buy strut mounts too?

Cool. Yeah for $150 i'd give them a shot. Like I mentioned above the STR.T's and Bilstiens are a great affordable option. My strut mounts were fine when I switched so I just used them

Sounds like a plan

Koni orange is a great option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Do the konis work well with the slp option springs?

Sure, Koni STR.T can handle the SLP springs. We have them here at UMI (the Koni's).
