Well I was thinking to put some Eibash Springs and Bilstien shocks on my z28, but I dont know who in Germany is any good with them. I live in the Kaiserslautern area.

I guess you could check with Dany's place ... shouldn't take long to put the stuff in ...

I mean that you have a USAEUR tagged vehicle and have access to Ramstein. However, I am very deep into my own projects now and will probably be too busy. We can try to work something out though.

the hardest part is those front struts... The Strano/bilstein shocks are shorter than factory so make sure you have something to support the rear axle(or use the hub). The front isnt too bad and you can do it yourself with a tranny jack to support the A arms.

Thanks, I hope I like them, I went with Eibash(pro street)/bilstein on my formula, and I loved the way it rode, I started listening to sam strano, and i figured I'd give his product a try, seems very educated, and not afraid to clarify misnomers... I had my Eibash put in at a exhaust shop in Cali, but I'm not familiar with the shops around Kaiserslautern.

I'm sure you'll like them. I've got the Strano springs with Konis.

Yes, I know... I started with Koni/Bilstein combo with stock springs and switched to Koni/Koni with Strano springs last year.

Actually make that UMI K-Member & CM Adjustable A-Arms... Should be a good ride afterwards...

probably have a shop do that, because it will need to be aligned anyway...

I recommend Phil's Garage over in Einseidlerhof. He knows what he's doing, does great work and speaks perfect english.
