    shocks for sportlines is actually an oxy-moron
    seriously, though.
    The sportlines have very little suspension travel available.
    Knowing that, one would think that the spring rate would be high so that suspension can do its work in that limited travel range.
    For some reason, Eibach made those spring soft
    So you are faced with 3 choices:
    1. damp the springs well, but not enough travel distance available, bottoming out often.. harsh ride.
    2. overdamp the springs to avoid bottoming, but that makes it so the springs aren't allowed to do their work. worse than option 1.
    3. underdamp the springs, making it even softer and uncontrollable motion within the range, on top of bottoming... worse of all 3.

    I have never bottomed out on my Sportline/Bilstien combo, either on my '95 Z28 or my '00 SS. Uwilluz: sorry dont have a model number for the shocks, I would just order some for your year car.
