Default Anything else I should change when I lower my car?

I am about to put an Eibach Pro Kit on my 99 Z28 with 50,000 miles. Is there anything else I need to change besides the springs?

You should also get an adjustable panhard rod to re-center the rearend, and adjustable LCA brackets to correct the pinion angle.

What shocks are you going to run? You'll need to change those out as well.

Yeah, shocks first.

Pretty much as stated above, and also make sure that you stay away from boxed or tubular fixed LCA's with poly on both ends, because all of the rear binding at the rear axle will greatly compromise your cornering performance.

I doubt that the Pro Kit actually will cause a problem, but keep an eye also on your drive shaft's forward and rear pinion angle.

Don't forget an alignment.
