Same problem, only I have been procrastinating. I am on 9.5 yr old spring and shocks running 295/30/19 Z06 wheeles in the rear. Are there any springs that will not drop the car? Eibach and BMR all list drop of about 1 to 1.5". And/or I was considering the adjustable KYB shocks. Any thoughts? Thanks

i understand now about too much "spring rate" for the bilsteins, in 96 i bought the same eibach spring set up i have now and left the factory shocks in there, the factories shocks must have had a pretty high spring rate cuz in my opinion it rode great,when i do get ready to upgrade again will go with a shock with a higher spring rate thanx
Im trying to see if the panhard bar helped because I have a similar problem. My right rear is lower than the driver side by at least an inch and its only the right rear. I ordered an adj ph bar but haven't put it on yet. My friend said it wouldn't change ride height ...

One thing to remember is that shocks are not really position sensitive, meaning that regardless of where they are in the stroke, the damping is generally the same. There are shocks that can be set up for variable damping rates throughout the stroke, but they're extremely expensive, and generally are only used in long travel suspensions for offroad use. Standard shocks are designed for a certain range of spring rate. If they don't have enough compression damping to control vertical movement then you can run into a problem like this. A lowered car will need more compression damping to control vertical movement and keep the tires from bottoming out, since there is less upward travel from a static height.

If you haven't replaced any of your suspension components (i.e. springs, shocks, bushings) then they're probably worn out. Generally speaking, right rear (passenger side) shocks and springs get worn out faster due to forces imposed on them during hard acceleration.
The shocks and springs are brand new. Strano springs and kyb agx
