what do i need to lower my car

[scotts94_z28]

alright im going to start gathering parts to lower my car and was wondering all of what is needed. I already have LCA and relo brackest and i know im going to need the springs shocks and adj panhard bar. I am probably going to be using the eibach springs but dont know weather to go with the pro kit with the 1.3 inch drop or the sportline kit with the 1.8 inch drop? Also i am going to be using an adj panhard bar from spohn but i also dont know what shocks to use?. So to clears this all up im going to be lowering my 94 z28 camaro on 17" ZR1 with the 11" wides out back and need to know what springs i should go with if its daily driven in the summer and what shocks to use? Also let me know if i am forgeting any parts.

Billstein shocks would be good. I have the eibach pro-kit. Its about what you like, looks and handling. There is quite a few threads on here about this topic if you use the search option. The pictures of my car is with the pro-kit. The Lca's and relo brackets are a must if you want any sort of traction. Your out in B-port? Good stuff. Used to go there all the time for parties. Still got quite a few friends that go there. Im originally from rochester, might see ya cruisin sometime when im up again.

When you install the front shocks and springs, you have to fully disassemble the upper spring mounts. Typically, on a car as old as your 94, the top nut on the shock shaft is going to be rusted hard to the shaft, and the shaft may be rusted fast to the upper spring mount, or the upper spring mount may be deteriorating from age. Plan to replace the upper spring mounts... there are "right" and "left" side pieces, and the upper mount includes a dogbone shaped insert that needs to be purchased separately.

do i need the billstein shocks that go on a stock camaro or do i need diffrent ones since it will be lowered?

I got the Pro-Kit...sometimes I think Sportline would be more aggressive looking, but I scrape enough with the Pro-Kit...

I have the heavy-duty Bilsteins...not the SLP version.

Ride is good and stiff...with the BMR STB, it's really tight...still need SFC though. If you get both at the sametime, you'll really notice a dramtic difference...you'll be smiling, trust me.

A few of these threads may shed some light.

I have the Pro-Kit, and my buddy has the Sportlines. You have to be careful with both, but I prefer the Pro-Kit, it's not quite as bad. Also I think the Sportlines are just a little too low.
