triple-black- 2000 CamaroSS convertible
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.Eugenio_SS
almost stock triple-black 2000 SS convertible with 17x11s on all 4 w/ 315s at the track or on the street with 18x10.5s on all 4 w/ 315s: (1), (2)

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.
