I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

[ryanwarby01]

Brand wise, I'm unsure. I'd like to run a set of 315's out back and at some point I'll pick up a extra set of wheels for the rear and a set of drs.

I was hung up on 315s when I was buying tires, but ended up getting a good deal on some 295s from a member on here and am very happy with their size. When I have to replace them I will go with another set of 295s. They are just wide enough and their price point is a lot better with a lot more options than what's out there in a 315 size.

I too run a 295/35/18 and am very happy with the appearance

These the right shocks/struts?

I really like the stance of sportlines but have heard they handle like crap. Still leaning towards BMR.

Also, I plan on upgrading to the "lower" a arms. And cleaning up the uppers when we take them apart. I'll most likely do the spindles when I do breaks and hopefully someday do a tubular k. Unfortunatally, I haven't grown a money tree

I still need tires, body work / paint, front and rear lowering springs, rear shocks, intake elbow, tune, "heated" O2 sensors. I really really want to paint the engine bay before the motor goes back in too.

The trans rebuild kit is officially ordered!! Woot! I talked to Dana at pro built automatics, stand up guy, didn't pressure me into buying something I didnt need and schooled me on some trans lingo!

I have Tokico blues as well as their lowring springs on my car. Pretty firm ride but handles great.

In all honesty steins aren't that much more if you are replacing all 4 dampeners. I LOVE mine.

Wow I didn't realize how close they are in price. Only $40 more for the pair.

I love mine, world of a difference.

Please promise me you wont waste your money on sportlines...

The were on my old Trans Am when I bought it and rode horrible. They would make CD's skip in my monsoon they were so harsh. I replaced them with stock springs after a few months....

Yes, Eibach Sportlines are garbage

Thanks guys! Any tips or personal preference is helpful.

I heard the sportlines ride like junk but I love the drop. BMR I havent heard any bad things but I wish it was more than a 1.25" drop. The prokit is what I had on the 99 and I hated the stance, and the rear springs sagged like a mofo. When I first bought back this car I couldn't believe how nice of a ride it was compared to the 99.

Look into Vogtland springs too. I think they're almost identical to Stranos. Tom (ITSSLOW) had them on his black TA... let me see if I can find a pic

Ok, here are some examples from cars that I know what was done suspension wise. 3 are pretty good, 1 is horrid
