Best springs to go with Pro Kit?
I have a 2002 TA WS6 and bought the Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs. I was wondering, what is the best combination of shocks to run with them? Are the upgraded ws6 shocks enough or should I go with someone like Bilstein or HAL? Thanks for the help,
Brandon.

I just had Koni sport S/A shocks in the front & Bilstein HD in the rear installed today with an Eibach Pro kit. My car is unbelievable now.... I recommend those. Bought them from Sam too....

You seem happy! Hope it's at least what you were expecting! Usually it's beyond most folk's expectations. Always curious about customer's thoughts....

Re: Best springs to go with Pro Kit?
I'm very pleased & it's what I expected. I've had upgraded suspensions on my other F-bodies so it's not something new, but none the less I'm very impressed. This set up is hands down the best I've had, a step above & beyond that of SLP's Bilstein that came on my SS....

I'm happy to see Sam eventually made it here. I really like my revalved Bilsteins with the Prokit. I believe that Sam mentioned that if you can afford it, Koni's are the way to go. But for the money, the revalved Bilsteins work awesome.

I have Koni DA's on the front and Bilstein HD's on the rear with my Prokit springs and I love them. I do track/lapping days and ORR, as well as alot of street driving and if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the same setup. BTW I bought mine from Sam too ! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Hiya Sam !

Re: Best springs to go with Pro Kit?
Yet another vote for Sam - revalved Bilsteins just simply rock, and you don't have to worry about making the adjustments yourself like with SA/DA Koni's. Obviously you get more control with the Koni's, but only if you know what you're doing. I've seen Koni's after 3 years on a car and they are a biatch to adjust at that point.

Call Sam! The interview alone is almost worth it. He will ask you a bunch of questions and then based on your answers hook you up. No pun intended.
