I'm going to start buying my parts for my 95 Z28.
Now, for lowereing springs...What would you guys recommend? I only want an inch drop.

1)BMR
2)Hotchkis
3)Strano
4)Eibach

What shocks would be good?

I've heard the best things about Strano's springs. The known advantages are that they are linear rate springs instead of progressive. This allows the shock to able to better absorb the bumps when the springs compresses. Most all other springs are all progressive, so they have different spring rates per each coil. A combo of Strano's revalved bilsteins and his springs have had brilliant results on cars.

Plus, Sam is a supporting vendor of this site. Check out LS1tech and do a search for Strano Pics, youll get several threads of pics.

Talk with Sam Strano; he can help you setup your suspension for your driving interests.

I really like my Hotchkis.

1" drop?
What shocks are you using? I was thinking hotchkis with spacers so i can get that aggresive look to it. Just on the rears though.

DMS 1.3" drop springs and Billstein HD shocks is what I went with and I love them and it handles amazingly.

Where can i get DMS? are they still around?

It's not just about spring height, it's about spring rate too. Strano has it dialed in pretty well. I'd go with his. Hotchkis #2.

+1 for Strano. I've got them. Drops about 1-1/4", excellent linear spring rates. Coupled with a set of Koni 4/4 SA shocks and it makes for some fun turning! Very predictable setup and the adjustability of the shocks means you can dial it in to your liking.

They're firm, but i wouldn't call it harsh. They won't knock your teeth out, that's for sure. I would highly recommended them if you want to try any autocrossing or hpde stuff.

I like my Eiback Pro Kit,and a new set of stock shocks of a 97.

No offense, but I think that simply a case of "different" than actually being good. You like the setup, and that's fine. But I know folks who like their cars bone stock too, looking at your sig, you don't. The fact is that stock shocks lack rebound control which is why they feel kind of floaty at speed. They have a lot of compression damping in the rears they don't need, which is why they jump around in the rear over smaller bumps. And they are intended for stock springs, which are a lot softer than the lowering springs and offer more working travel for the shock to do it's job, which lowering springs take away from.
