my low traction light comes on sometimes also. Mostly when coming to a stop, does this have anything to do with the shocks?

 

I would suggest calling Sam Strano:
Strano Performance Parts - Parts Catalog -- tell him all your concerns -- he's a suspension guru.

But if you have bad springs due to poor cutting, then you may want new ones (Strano's signature springs are good) -- but any lowered car NEEDS adjustable shocks -- read: Koni SAs on all fours. Bilsteins will not last with most lowering springs and you will have to replace them sooner, but better than many other non-adjustables.

Why don't you post some pics of what you have now?!

 

^Agreed, Post pics of what is under your car now please

 

ill try to get some pics up here soon.

 

it doesn't sound like the OP has strano money, only reason why I suggested a decent set of bilsteins. Remember, if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it

 

I think the combination of lower springs and the corvette rims are the issue. You have a choise. A: Get rid of the vet rims B: Put the car back to stock riding height (replace springs C: Use the back seat as a place to put your jacket NOT a person.

You can return your car to the correct riding height and still get good handling by going with a hvy stock height spring.

New shocks will make your car handle better assuming the last owner did not already upgrade them but they are not a sure fix for your problem as Camaro 69 explained.
