Those with lowered cars and 315's out back Can I get away with just buying an adjustable panhard bar or is trimming the fender lip absolutely necessary? I'm putting these new rims and tires on maybe next week and don't want my car sitting up like a 4 wheel drive truck. Which springs are recommended? I'm looking to sit the car just over the tires without any fender gap. I do have Pacesetter ceramic coated LT's and ORY on the car too so rubbing is an issue, just want to do it right the first time.
I was thinking along the lines of BBK springs with a spohn adjustable panhard bar and LCA's? Opinion's?

With my G2 springs (roughly 2"), I didnt' have to touch a thing with these ZR1s. I didn't even have to adjust my PHR. Maybe I'm lucky. I'd go with a Prokit if I had to do it over again. I was expecting the advertised 1.75" drop, but it sits lower than that. Looks good, just annoying sometimes.

How hard was it to install the front springs over the coil overs? I've installed springs on a third gen but the fronts are different so I ain't got a clue, the rears are cake though. So Eibach Pro kits would be good? I ran those on my 87 camaro, they dropped the rear nicely but the front still sat up too high. I hope I don't have that problem with my 98.

It will depend on the offset. I have the 50mm offset on my 11" ZR1's with 315 Nitto's. No need to trim the wheel well. I have the MAC lowering springs.
This group of pics is with the rubber isolators removed and 5/8" heater hose over the top coil.

This is with the isolator installed and no heater hose.
