KYB AGX shocks, springs, sway bar thoughts...
#11
Yeah, I've noticed that the front end of my car seems to be a tad bit lower than rear. I know I don't have aftermarket springs, but I went to go measure the height the other day and noticed i was at 27 inch at the front, 28 in the rear-which seems to be stock height for the lt1's. Im curious now to see if I need a front set of springs anymore..maybe I can just buy a rear set.

I just installed the Bilstein/ Eibach shock/spring kit from Classic Industries onto my 94 Z28, and the springs are absolutely incredible. Rides nice, but handles like the car is on rails. I also at the same time installed BMR upper and lower A arms, as well as rear lower control arms and new front and rear sway bar stabilizer links and new front and rear stabilizer bushings as well as a new BMR torque arm, new trans mount, and new engine mounts. This car, now outhandles my 99 Z and my 02 Formula which are still in new condition because of their low mileage. I will be changing those cars as well in the near future and adding 6 piston calipers to each vehicle now that I've got the slotted rotors. Eibach is one of the best brands for inexpensive money. If you want to do the car right, theirs much that needs replacing on a high mileage vehicle, so you must decide which brand/brands to go with, and stay with that brand. If your going to make the car faster and handle better, its always a good idea to upgrade the stock braking system, which is something majority of guys overlook.

Question for the folks. I think I mentioned that I took the lowering springs off the back of my car, simply due to the bottoming out I kept on encountering. I am torn between buying some lowering springs and just picking up some stock replacements for the back. What do y'all think? I'm fairly happy with the handling now, but admittedly, it WAS better when it was lowered.
