I have a 95 Camaro Z28 LT1. I am want to buy the Eibach Sportline Springs to lower my car and also handle well, but what else to i need to replace in order for me to get good ride quality and the best handling? I searched on here over and over before posting this so i wouldnt repeat previous questions or post on old threads. SBut i know there is more involved in this than just springs right? I want to get the KYB Shock absorbers just cuz i still have the stock ones on and i have replaced my rotors with cross drilled/slotted. So do i need anything else in order to finish my suspension? Also i have a Hotchkis Strut Tower Brace installed as well. I hope you guys can help, you are the best. Thanks

There's still tons of stuff you can do. Sway bars, trailing arms, lower control arms, torque bar, panhard rods. go to Summitracing.com and check out what's available for your application.

P.S. you're going to sacrifice ride quality to get better handling, if you want better ride quality go buy a cadillac.

:iagree:

Also if you really want to increase ride quality.. then buy some airbags..

To lower your car the right way you not only need springs, but also shocks and sway bars that can me matched to the springs, and also an adjustable panhard rod to re-center your rear.

Of course lower control arm w/ relocation brackets, a torque arm, and subframe connectors can't hurt :D

My list to date. Not everything is installed yet though.
Subframe connectors (diamond)
UMI torque arm (adj. with driveshaft loop)
UMI rear lower control arms
UMI control arm relocation brackets
Eibach Pro-Kit springs
UMI panhard bar (adj.)
Strut tower brace


The springs are going on the stock struts. For now. They won't last long, and the ride quality will suck. But gotta be that way for a couple thousand miles. I read that the stockers will make it about 5,000 miles before giving out to the added pressure.

Weld on.

The bolt on ones work with only the stock rear end, so I figured I had better get ones I can change around later on.
