Im looking to buy springs to lower my car a little bit more and get better handling. I was looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit but wanted some opinions on them and some other spring kits.

I was looking for the same thing, but I think I want to get GMPP Handling kit and STB first.

Then possibly get struts and keep stock springs or get Vogtlands(sp?)


do you want to go low? or just improve handling?

yes eibachs do suck. a friend of mien put them on and went back to stock 2 weeks later, the ride/handling sucked.

ssc's are the best out there imo.

I got SSCs and couldn't be happier. I get alot of complements on the car and the ride is comparable to stock except on really rough roads. Steering became more precise with less body roll in corners.

Does the price vary, or are the springs one specific price?

B&G springs give more of a drop then what they advertised. I had them and the rear sat to low for me. I ended up getting the GMPP lowering kit. If you are looking for a drop similar to the GMPP lowering kit then look into vogtland springs. Either the SSC or the vogtland spring is good. Make sure you pair them with the KYB AGX's. GR2's suck when using a lowering spring. Trust me on that.

Found this on club gp if you want B&G's.

How bad are we talking for Vogtlands and GR2's? That is what I just bought, have not installed them yet though.

I don't drive much or far (20 miles a day total), no potholes in my area either

Should be ok. The vogtlands are not a severe drop. They end up dropping the car about the same as the GMPP lowering kit. From the pics and write ups I have seen its less than an 1". I would get the pogo elimiators for the front. You can also get them for the rear as well. Also don't forget some new strut mounts. You can always upgrade to the AGX's later on.

Yeah, I bought everything that is under the catagory "Suspension"


Left to install (Just waiting on springs to arrive):

GR2's
Vogtland springs
4 new strut plates
4 new rubber lower spring bushings
4 new dust boots
4 Anti-Pogo washers
New control arms (Wbody store)
Moog oversized rear stabalizer links
4 new latteral adjustable bars (Wbody store)
4 camber bolts
2 New inner tie rod ends
2 New outer tie rod ends
Wbody store 3 part square dogbone poly mounts with 100% poly round dogbone mounts installed
ZZP Transmission/Engine mounts

Already have GMPP front/rear sway bars installed
Poly end links for front sway bar installed
Front/rear strut bars with DonRome specials installed :)

Vogtlands rule, and AGXs are existential. The change in ride quality from all stock to Vogtland/AGX was truly unbelievable. I thought I was going through a placebo effect, but it still rides great almost a year later.
