I have Pacesetter LTs and Eibachs. The Pacesetters are great, but the Eibachs are terrible. They bounce so much that when I try to go over bumps slow it bounces and bangs the y-pipe. They hit the bump stops. I feel like I need a Mexican bobble head dog in the window. I am getting rid of them as soon as I can find replacements. I have only had them on for a week and maybe 30 miles. I actually tore the y-pipe right off the headers the first time I drove it, and trust me, I am about as careful as anyone can be driving it.

I would say 1" performance springs would be better, stay away from "lowering springs" that are built for the sake of lowering and not performance.

I have KYb AGX shocks that I put on at the same time. I have sportlines. I hear the prokit is better. Maybe that was my mistake.

Yeah, the jerkoff I bought them from sent the wrong ones and I didnt really realize it til I started asking questions. He wasnt interested in making his costumer happy, even sent them to the wrong address and I had to pick them up at a UPS hub 3 towns away.

It seems the Prokit is much better than the Sportlines. I am going to try to find some Hotchkis. I had STs on another car that worked decent, so maybe I will look for them too. I thought highly of Eibach in the past but now I am pretty unhappy that a company like that would sell a spring that has a lower rating than stock.

I have hotchkis 1" springs. I can't imagine needing to go any lower. I think this is the perfect height; not too low, not too high.

I agree. I like the stance yours has ttop1986. I have those wheels on mine too. Do you get any rubbing in the rear?

no yet, soon though. so we will see what happens. i do have a larger diameter y-pipe on there, that is just about as low as LTs. I only scrape it on large speed bumps and some driveways.
