Suspension help please! What up fellers and fellets! So I have a 2000 Trans Am WS6 and in need of some advice. Currently running Eibach 2” lower springs front and rear. Stock style shocks and struts, aftermarket (non-adjustable) panhard bar. Issues I’m having, car rides extremely rough, car feels like it’s walking when I hit bumps or potholes, rear end seems to be sagging a bit and tires rub on fender wells when I hit moderate bumps (running 295’s rear), especially when someone rides in back it’s even worse, it’s just an overall bad ride and would like some advice. Any recommendations on shocks, struts, need for an adjustable panhard bar? Any suggestions sure helps guys! I know with lowering springs it’s never going to ride like a Cadillac but I also want to be able to enjoy the car without feeling like it’s falling apart. It’s a super clean WS6 with only 89,000 original miles so would like a cleaner ride. Thanks for your time much appreciate!!

Eibach springs have a bad reputation in this application - they're just too low. Sam at stranoparts will recommend something to fit your needs. His springs with Koni STR-T shocks and appropriate bump stops will probably do it.
The adjustable panhard is good for centering the rear axle to fit the largest tires possible, but it shouldn't impact ride quality much if the bushings are in good condition.
What size wheels are you running? Ride quality with 17's is far better than with 19's.
