New 04 Blk Sedan, suspension Q

Hey guys! I've been lurking for a while and this is my first post, sorry to dissapoint but no pics yet.

I've been reading up on suspensions and used the search until my fingers bleed from typing, but I can't get a good feel for what I can expect if I were to put a set of Pro-Line's on my sedan. Can anyone explain to me what difference I would 'notice' if I put these on?

I do not have the stock sport suspension as far as I know. And I really just want to drop the car an inch all around without sacraficing the ride (gotta shuffle wife/kids around). That and we have a good deal of potholes on country roads out here in TN.

So far I've done a tint, debadged, and I'm about to paint my grille black before going with a suspension/wheel upgrade.

Thanks in advance for your wealth of G knowledge!!

You have the sport model? If no, then I'd recommend buying shocks also.

IF you do have that sport model, those springs "might" be okay depending on what rates they are built to. But if you only want 1" and want to keep a decent ride, I'd just go Z springs. They would lower about 1" and would be alot cheaper. And probably aren't as stiff as the Eibachs

eibach pro kit drop the sedan 1" all around and were made for the g sedan without sport suspension. I heard they drop a little more than an inch and can require camber kits, so if you don't want to go that route, go with the Z springs. Much more subtle drop that has looks great and don't have to deal with the issues of dropping a car
