1. do the heater hose mod to even the stance out and lower the rear.https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...1&page=1&pp=20
2. good luck driving with LTs with the car that low, id raise it up a lil. If ur thinking about tds you will def have to raise it up. Id go with hotchkiss or better yet strano springs.

if you like the height of the rear springs, but you think the front is too low, you could swap your front sportlines for someone else's prokit fronts....that will bring the fronts up a bit and level it out.

if you like the way the front is, and you think the rear is too high, do the heater hose mod....a search will find plenty info on that.

but i'm going to agree with unSStoppable.....i'd ditch the eibachs altogether and get some Strano springs.

i don't know much about the hotchkis, haven't really read many things about them on here, either good or bad.

as for the Strano springs and ground clearance with headers/TD's, that all depends on the particular headers & TD's.

definitely stay away from SLP headers, those hang the lowest of any LT's out there. and some people have their TD's hang low, others are able to get them to tuck pretty well.

do some reading in the exhaust section, and you should be able to find out all about this subject.
