lowering springs help!?


hello.

im 15 and i got my first car, its a 94stang. i was talking to this kid in school and i asked about lowering springs, i found a set for about 120$. he said if its a 2inch drop front and rear, that i might need a camber kit. what does that mean.

oh, and can anybody tell me a good set of 10,12,16 spoke wheels really really reallly cheap?

What brand of springs? In the automotive world, you WILL get what you pay for.

+1^ on the Eibach drag springs. Good choice for a lightly modified car that doesn't live just on the strip. They are a lil soft for a DD, but not terrible bad

If your car losses traction when lowered, its not the springs... its your tires. My fox handles better then ever with them lowered. Not once did I ever slide. Also the only reason some people may require casper cambers is soo that your tires wear even, but thats only if you drive like a complete and total moron and drive like your in the racing circuit

I wondered about that too, but didn't wanna bring it up. Good call 87.

As far as C/C plates are concerned, they are a good investment. You can NEVER have enough adjustment.
