eibach sportlines! Pics?

Just ordered my set of eibach sportline springs and kyb shocks and struts. How much lower will they make my 91 z sit? Do any of you have pics? I tried a search but didn't come up with much! How rough is the car going to ride with those springs? Thanks for your help guys!! Keep the kick *** info coming!

I've got the Eibach and the KYB's, but I can't figure out why my front end sits so high,


Here is my Jamex Springs and KYB Shocks,

Will I need an adjustable panhard bar with these springs? I know it is recommended and I will be adding relocation brackets, and the adjustable panhard bar in the future, but will I be able to get away with just the springs and shocks for now? Cars look awesome guys!!!

I had to get an adjustable since my rear end shifted about 1" over to the drivers side I think. I can't remember exactly which way it went, I just remember having a heck of a time trying to push the body over so that I could get the bolt back into the panhard since mine has an adjustable end and not the turnbuckle style that you can adjust while it's on the car.

guys with sportlines i have a question, when you lowered the car did you get the lca relocators, weld in or bolt in ones, and did you buy a panhard bar and a bumpsteer kit.i think bear makes a bumpsteer kit, and if anyone has the bumpsteer how hard was it to put in , because all they are, are adjustable tie rods correct .fill me in on what i would really need to lower my car the right way.I think i need springs ,lower control arm relocators , panhard bar and buumpsteer kit.

I don't have the LCA Relocation brackets yet, but I will get the weld on ones. those brackets also help cars that aren't lowered as well. Really helps to plant the rear end down.
