Sport Shocks/springs w/ Rims

[mammoth713]

i'm looking to upgrade my shocks and springs because my car is at 60k and idk gives me a reason to do it lol... always thought my car was high up looking


anyway down the road i want c6 z06 chrome 18" rims (or maybe 17")with 275 tires all around so i can rotate them.... was wondering if anyone had this combination on their car and has any insight on recommending companies with good products... looking to spend around $600 in parts for the shocks/springs and around maybe $600-$900 for rims...?(doesnt have to be genuine GM corvette rims)

Finding a good set of shocks and springs for 600 is not gonna be easy

well i was looking at.....

Hotchkis Sport Springs.... run about $250
OR
Eibach Sport Springs..... run about $240

AND

SLP Bilstein Shock Package (set of 4).... run about $390
OR
Bilstein HD Shock Package (set of 4)... run about $370
(not sure the difference b/w shock sets)


idk.... any suggestions to this?

If i had to recommend a set of springs i would tell you these

Never heard anyone complain about their stranos

Couldn't tell you much about the shocks
From what i've heard eibachs are nice, but ride pretty rough and tend to sag a little in the rear (again just what i've heard)
Bilstein shocks may be better for your budget.

If i were you i would call strano
Give your driving style/ride height preference, and your budget
Best advice you could probably get

yeah i was poking around on this forum and read a lot of people who like strano springs... they're a little more $ but seem woth it possibly. thanks for the advice
