What shock / spring combo?
Right now I have a Eibach prokit with the stock 2002 Z/28 shocks. Looking to upgrade shocks and probably springs also. I need it to be a little higher for clearence issues and I just want something that rides a bit better than it is now.

if you are able to get take-off stock springs, get Koni SA for the front and Bilstein HD for the rear... the Koni SA has 2 perch locations... use the lower one, allowing for a 3/4" drop from stock position. the rear can have the same drop w/ the hose-mod.

SLP put Bistein shocks with eibach springs on my car from the factory. I think they increase the handling from .89 to .91 on the skid. (a noticable difference)

Yea, I am still pretty confused. My shop here suggest Hal QA1s since they are so adjustable, but they do not come with rear springs. So I guess I will probably just throw some stock springs on the back i am not sure. Still thinking about konis though.

well, I put about 2500miles on it a year, and all the racing I do it drag racing. Mainly I am looking to keep it lowered some but also be able to raise it up for more clearence. I know the QA1s are comepletely adjustable, and the konis I think just have a few different settings? I am not sure exactly.

I think I am going to go stock springs with QA1s or konis...

People with Konis, how adjustable is the ride height? KYBs? QA1s?

You could alweys get the 1LE springs (which I had a hard time betting the real ones) and use the lower perch in the front and use the heater hose mod for the back.
That is about a 3/4" drop.
I might be changing my springs out for a stiffer rate so I could possibly have my 1LE's for sale.
the problem is Strano springs are on back order atm!

I went with BMR 1" lowering springs and Bilstein HD's and absolutely love the look and ride.
