HELP! What suspension setup??????

Well first of all, i'll admit i don't know jack about what all i need to lower my car correctly. I have a 95' Z and want a more aggressive stance. I have the 17x11" ZR1 Wheels and 17x9.5" up front. I have been looking at the Eibach sportline springs because i've heard the pro-kit isn't low enough for a lot of people. If i choose these springs will my rear tires rub??? I have made all the "modifications" so they fit now without a problem. Will i need to buy any "special" shocks for these shorter springs?? and what else will i need to do the job right such as lower control arms. torque arm etc. I don't want the car to hop on me when it spins. and ONE LAST QUESTION roughly how much money will i have wrapped up in the suspension if i buy all these things WITHOUT LABOR because i have some connections in that department lol. Thanks guys for any help and sorry for being so long!!

Re: HELP! What suspension setup??????

You could easily spend a few thousand in suspension if you don't know what you're looking for. If you're going to lower it then you'll need relocation brackets for the lower control arms. An adjustable panhard rod is also a very good idea. I'm not sure if it's required but still not a bad idea. Once you get lowering springs i do believe you need lowering shocks too. But i could be wrong. Hope this helped.

If you've already upgraded them then no, but if they're stock then i'd go with tubular ones.
