How about this combo..

Prokit and
SLP-bilsteins?

do i need to get the strano revalves for the prokit? Anyone have the prokit with the SLP bilsteins?
thanks.

The springs in that link aren't the Prokit. They are the SLP level 1 springs. According to this link http://www.angelfire.com/my/fastcar/suspension.html they are 223-448 front progressive rate and 97-136 rear rate with a .75 inch drop. Do you have any height requirements or anything? Looks like you have long tubes and big power. What do you do with your car, 1/4 mile stuff?

I would try to find out who's run that setup. I tend to go by word of mouth of people who've had experience and raced with certain setups, aka Sam. I would guess the shocks were tuned for that spring and not the prokit nor other springs.

i just want my car to ride nice and not be too low. Im running soprtlines right now and its bad. I like the way the prokit looks but i need to find a good shock to go with it.

I too would like to know some opinions on running Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks with the Pro-Kit since i can get a really good deal on them at this time, only problem is theyre not revalved for the lowering springs.

To me, that seems pricey for that kit. If it were closer to 500 then I'd probably consider it, but only if people who tried it said it was "ok" at the least. Especially when you can get that revalves, strano springs, and even the UMI phb all for under 1000. The ride would be lower and slightly firmer, but I'll tell you the handling is amazing.

Sportlines are poorly engineered springs

My car has the optional SLP suspension (bilstein) package on it. It also comes with more stuff from SLP so it corners great but it is not that low. I am actually getting a bit of rear spring sag that a lot of Eibach spring owners see. I currently have 40k miles on the car.

Here is a pic.

I think i have to go with the revalves and the pro kit.

I love my shocks per SLP specs but want to get new springs. (i wonder how much harder the HD Bilsteins are) I like that Strano quotes this of their springs...


(-Consistant lowernig of ride height, never will you end up 1.75" lower than stock with these springs.
-Spring rates and ride heights used to win multiple SCCA National Championships.)

There is an article on Strano parts in the September issue of GMHTP mag.

I put the Eibach Pro-Kit springs in my '96 Z-28 when the car was a few months old. I ran it with the stock shocks for about 3-4 years, then replaced them with the Bilsteins that SLP was selling in 2000-01. I have no idea if the SLP shocks are still the same today, however I'm reasonably satisfied with the ride/handling that I have with that set-up.

Those are the same SLP spec shocks.
