Ride Height Recommendations
 
Hey guys, just a quick question for you...

I am going to start buying some suspension parts for my '95 Z, and while I wasn't going to lower it at first, I am reconsidering that option as I wouldn't mind getting a more aggressive stance.

My question to you guys is what lower kit would you recommend and what is a good amount to lower it? I will still be using this as a DD/crusier so I would need a kit that is still practical in MN (summers). Moreover, I have 18" ZO6 wheels on it currently, will that be an issue? Also, I was looking at upgrading my shocks/struts to Bilsteins, but was wondering how that decision would be effected if I were to lower my ride.

Here's a kit I was looking at:
Eibach Sport Plus Suspension Kit - Eibach Sport System Plus Kit

Let me know what you think! Thanks agian in advance!:icon_toast:

Have you heard anything about 'Bilstein Tuned Suspension (BTS)' kits?

Nevermind...

Considering this kit instead now.

give him a call if your ordering from him. very good with suspension and may get you a better ride for a similar price using another way, lol, sam talked me into not lowering but doing the hose mod on back and getting koni ajustables to lower front. lowered the back more than front until i installed the 9 inch. get sams sway bars next, big difference, almost as much as the shocks

Thanks again for the recommendation! Just curious, what is a 'hose mod?'

there are spring isolators between the rear springs and the car body, you take them out and add some thick hose to the body side of the spring. lowers rear of the car about an inch. ride is the same but some of the rearend noise and bumps transfer to the body.
