Default suspension parts

Whose suspension parts should I use for my 2K Z28? I was going to go with BMR including tubular sfc's, and possibly there new lowering springs. I also was considering Hotchkis and now possibly G2. I would like to find some good comparisons with some performance facts and longevity facts and all of these products.. I have heard good and bad about all three's companies products but they where all opinions. Ride quality is important and I only "play" on the street now and then. I like the look of about a 1 inch lowering or so. I do have BMR's stb. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

If you have or plan on having long tube headers you probably shouldn't use lowing springs, if you lower your car you'll want reloction brackets and adjustable panhard rod. For SFC I think your best bet are the www.spectaclesolutions.com sub frame connectors. I really don't want to get into a debate which is better the bolt-on or weld-on kind, I can tell you this, I've installed the bolt-on type on two of my friends SS's and they have nothing but good things to say about them. Good luck with your choices.

I have a friend who has FLPs and Eibach Pros. He has no clearance issues. He has to be careful, but you should be going over speed bumps.

I have no problem w/my Eibach Pro-Kit, I do agree w/mitchntx on the headers, be careful, those bad-boys do hang down... Just be careful, there's nothing worse than the sound of an undercarrige gringing a speed bump! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
