  • Pro-Kit or Sport-Line?

    ok, I just got my C5's on with my falkien tires (265/35/18) i recomend going at LEAST 275...wish i had but OHWELL next time. anyways. my rear end bounces up and down like 4-5 times after speedbumps and that sort of thing causing me to think my shocks/springs are wearing out. maybe im totally wrong but i want new springs and shocks for appearance and handling reasons too (shocks and springs worn is just the parental persuasion factor) but the eibach prokit and sportline are causing me some greif... im wondering which ones to get. it LOOks like i have TOns of room now, seems almost lifted since my stock tires and rims and so i think i can go sportline with no rubbing but please tell me if im wrong, i want absolutely no rubbing as these tires neeed to last me for-f***ing-ever lol. is sportline too much of a drop? will i get rubbing with sport line and is sport line even as good as handling as the prokit. i want the best handling and looks with no rubbing between these two so please let me know which ones would be best suited for my situation...thanks guys (and gals)

    my philosophy is to drop the rear more than the front, just because I hate how high up the rear is, or seems to be. I say use pro-kit for the front and sportline for the rear. for cheap and adjustability, go with QA1 shocks.

      how much are QA1 shocks, and how do you adjust them, with a chuck or something, and what diff heights can you set them at?

        check lmperformance, thunder racing, and other V6/LS1 websites. I think it's about 450-500 for the set of shocks. they have a knob on them to adjust how stiff or soft they are. the front shocks also come w/ a height adjustable collar, in case u wanna lower u car beyond the lowering of the springs. BMR makes a spring collar to work w/ QA1 shocks specifically. assuming u put on pro-kit front springs and got a 1.5" drop from them, u could adjust the front collar from 1.5" drop all the way to 3.5" drop, I assume. I don't know for sure so u should check on that.
