DMS! If you look some threads down you'll see a huge thread on their springs. The consensus on there is that the DMS springs are awesome! I had Eibachs and will choose my DMS one over them anyday.

Take the DMS and you can always reach the president if you run into any problems or have any questions. If you can't reach him, you drop me a PM and I will drag him onto this board for you. ahahahahah

I vote ground control, I've got some about to go on and the fact that you can adjust the ride height should be worth the extra hundred bucks over a prokit for them. Once you have the drop on there, your stuck dude. What if you want long tube headers? What if you change your wheel size? What if you change your tire size? What if you move or live somewhere where the roads aren't great for that drop? Get ground controls, I have a prokit right now and love it, I just can't adjust it. My plans for my car have changed and I had to change from the prokit. You can get the DMS drop with ground control. ****, you can get any drop within stock height to 2" with ground control. Not only that you can get the springs in any rate you want. Check with WS6 store----->for the best price from any sponser here.

I should have listened to others when they told me.

I put DMS springs on my car 2 years ago and they still look the same.(no sagging) I like the dropped look DMS springs gave my car. Just do some research(pros&cons) and pick what you like.

Thanks to everyone that posted: I E-mailed Eric and he says he'll even extend the GP Sale he's having. Even E-mailed CamaroZ28 Owner, Jason Debler and he took the time to E-mail me back! These must be some good springs. Well, I'm off to order!

I voted for DMS. I' ve the Eibach Pro-Kit, and the rear springs are sagging pretty bad and the car bottoms out in any good dip in the road. Granted they do have better than 100k miles on them. I' ve heard nothing but good things on the DMS springs.

i actually am running stock shocks right now and I dont see a problem SO FAR.

I am sure the shocks will blow out eventually (rather soon than later I am sure) and then I will get some Koni's
