Koni's & prokit are on...
 
Just got this installed Sat and what a difference the koni's make.. The ride is so much smoother and I am happy in my decision to go with these.

The prokit sets it off just nice and I have pics but waiting to upload sometime this week

Hey Sam, I am confused why after these two new items I got, the right side still sits higher than the left. Mostly the front right but not as much like previously with the SLP eibach springs. ALSO, when I'm driving the left rear seems to bottom out and sounds like something hits pretty hard when I meet up with a dip, etc. ANy ADVICE???

i would try getting the car in the air and spinning the springs around to a different spot

Most cars do not sit level, and that's completely normal as long as it's within say 1/4" or so.

As for the "hit". That's the combination of springs that are lower than what you had, not stiffer, and the SS bumpstops and spacers. My recommendation, dump the SS bumpstop and and spacer for a standard Z28 bumpstop. I think you'll find the rear to improve greatly.

I'm glad you like the shocks, it's quite something when a car that's lower actually improves the ride on the whole. Shows you just what shocks can do.

even with the bilsteins & decarbons I had on previously, it would bottom out... SOunds pretty ugly

I have the prokit and koni 4/4's on my 95 bird. I think the handling is amazing, especially so when I am in the canyons.

Yeah in the other thread Darkhorse made I responded about going with z28 bumpstops. Try what Sam is mentioning. I actually just ordered a new set because mine have a lot of cracks in them and I could probably fold them over if I pushed them inward. Don't really want that on my car for the next season :)
