96 z28 suspension lowering
It's come time to replace the front/rear shocks and springs on my 96 z28. I'm pretty set on the SLP/Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs package ( SLP 70002, SLP Shocks/Springs, Front/Rear, 1993-02 Bilstein/Eibach set Camaro V8 / V6 ). I've read that the package lowers the suspension by about 0.5" (30mm front, 10mm rear), and was wondering if there are any other components which should or need to be replaced along with the shocks/springs.

have a look at what sam has here Strano Performance Parts - Parts Search straino springs are very good with about a 1 in drop, also has the set your looking at for a few bucks less.

i just would like to add that when lowering you sacrifice ride comfort for looks and performance.
i have eibach 2" lowering springs and when i have 1 person in the back the car is bouncy like no tomorrow but i can take curves faster and it looks pretty decent when on flat level ground

I've done some more searching and think that I'm going to with
93-97 Bilstein/Eibach ProKit Lowering Package | WS6store.com Also, the kit lowers the front and rear about 1.3", would anything else need to be replaced from that much of a drop?

Just a quick update, I plan on ordering 93-97 Bilstein/Eibach ProKit Lowering Package | WS6store.com next week sometime. Then after I save up some more money (about a month or 2), will order BMR Suspension MCA002, BMR Chrome moly adjustable street control arms MTCA002 Camaro 1982-02 V8 / V6 , 82-02 Fbody BMR Adjustable Panhard Rod w/Rod Ends | Panhard Rods | Suspension | 93-97 Camaro/Firebird | WS6store.com , and BMR Suspension CAB002, BMR Control arm relocation brackets, bolt-on, 1982-2002 Firebird V8 / V6
Any thoughts on this setup?

main ones are sway bars front and rear, (again strano has a set that is very nice) weld in sub frame connectors, shock tower brace and torque bar relocation. for lowering adjustable pan hard i see you got that and the relocation for torque bar on the list.
