If he is sitting as low as he says, I would guess Sportline.

btw

Pro-kit (black) ~1.3" Drop, more in the rear if you have LS1 style with sag. LT1 style don't have the sag problem.

Sportline (red) ~2+ in drop easily.


Those springs are total ****, they are lower than the pro kit and have less spring rate to compensate for that loss of travel.

If you have sportlines, I suggest dumping them for a better set of springs like Strano or perhaps the LT1 Pro-Kit.

Eibach's drop is pretty inconsistent on their LS1 springs
