Currently my 95 Gt Vert is on all stock suspension. Fitment is pretty horrendous and it feels like a wagon over any bumps, I’m tired of it. I am on a somewhat tight budget, hoping to spend less than $1000. Coilovers would be cool but I don’t want to cheap out on them and a good set looks to be at least $1500 before tax and other mods.
The plan as of right now is to go with Eibach Pro-Damper kit (3514.840) along with the Eibach Pro kit springs (3530.140). With a discount I can get that would total out to about $920.
A concern I face is the springs say they will drop the car 1-1.4 inches, and I think I’d like to go a little lower than that. I have long tube headers and the catalytic converter shields on my BBK X-pipe do scrape on some speed bumps but hey they’re shielded for a reason, should be fine? So, I’ve been unable to find what spring rate the shocks are valved for, and I’ve also been unable to find the spring rate for the springs. Would there be an issue if I switched the springs out for something else?
Or, does anyone have recommendations on other brands or kits within this $1000 budget that would be a better bang for my buck? Are CC plates necessary? Thanks.
