Default Koni FSD AND Eibach spring pads !!!

I think i will order Koni FSD for my c6 (base model,with z51 sway bars), since i heared Koni make my car more comfort,make the ride softer.

the problem i ordered Eibach spring pads kit, this kit do Avg low 0.0-2.0"F & 0.0-2.0"R.
cause i want lower my car when i put my new wheels (19/20 with 265/30/19 F AND 325/25/20 R PS2 )

so can i use the Eibach kit with Koni FSD shock? cause i heared Koni already make the car lower than stock shock.

i afraid if they make the car to low then i have problem with air dinamic"(

can i lower the car with Koni shock only?

i need for your opnion.

thx

I don't know what Eibach spring pads are, but if I were you, I'd write to/email both Eibach and Koni and ask your questions.

From what I've read there is a slight drop in height with the Konis. Also, you can lower or raise your car with the stock adjusters currently on the car; some have actually raised their car in stock condition (no new shocks).

I wouldn't worry too much about being over-lowered and affecting your aerodynamics. I'd worry more about overall driveability if the car is too low. However, there are some here who have their cars lowered and it doesn't seem to pose too much of a problem for them.

Tell us what Eibach and Koni respond back to you with. Good luck.
