Lowerin' the front ONLY
 
I just got an '01 Z28 and the previous owner had put Eibach lowering springs on the front only. What kind of problems does that cause? I noticed a lot of wheel hop and don't know if that is normal for an M6.:confused:

The main issue that I can see is having two different spring rates. It's like having two completely different suspension set-ups on each end.

yeah i think eibachs are progressive...and stock are...um...not progressive. i forget what it is...variable or something...

and wheel hop is a problem with every f body. control arms and relocation brackets easily fix that.

oh another thing too...i'd imagine that lowering the front would shift the center of gravity foward and braking performance would suffer.

get stock fronts or eibach rears.
