Alright, so after reading like 5 or 6 different threads, I am still confused. What is the issue with the new bilstein shocks? And I plan on lowering my car too, with the bilsteins, and eibachs probably. But I have always been told don't lower a car on stock shocks, the bilsteins are stock replacements? So, basically, can I use the bilstein and eibach combination without any issues? And are there any good adjustable panhard bar recommendations(reasonably priced)?

Re: Lowering my car
last I talked to sam strano, the goto guy for f-body suspension, he was recommending kyb agx. He said the bilsteins went way down in the last few shipments they had with the old style. He said he won't be recommending the new bilsteins because of that and because they have gone down in overall quality anyway. The only shocks you should be using on a lowered car are shocks that were built for a lowered car. That is why Sam Strano used to (probably still does) re-valve bilsteins to work for lowered cars. Since most all other non adjustable shocks are made as stock replacements, he recommends adjustable shocks for lowered cars.
Either take my word or give him a call yourself, he will let you in on the most up to date information. Mine is only as good as the time I got it, which was now 6+ months ago. -

Re: Lowering my car
Just talked to Sam Strano, good conversation, basically he told me the bilstein would be fine with the eibach, but if I want any adjust ability to go with the KYB AGX, So here was my conclusion from that conversation,
1.Be very decisive when talking to sam strano(cool guy though)
2.Buying KYB AGX cause i want the ability to adjust at least a little
3.Buying Eibach pro-kit for the 3.4l V6
One question left, am I going to need a panhard bar immediately or could that slide for a little?Comment

Re: Lowering my car
I think you'll be happy with the AGX's. I know I am. I love the adjustability, I get to pick my ratio of performance to comfort as well as other aspects that are directly and indirectly implied by them.
Not every car needs an adjustable panhard bar. Some cars axles are centered just fine on lowering springs, whereas others need to be centered badly, and anything in between.Comment

Re: Lowering my car
So I should just see what it looks like after I go to get it aligned? I do think a red panhard bar would look pretty sick.Comment
