Suspension question...


I ordered Eibach pro kit springs all way round, and Tokico Blue shocks/struts all way round. I have my eye on a strut tower brace next, but how important would caster/camber plates be vs control arms or bumpstop kits for handling. I need tires soon but just figured before I ripped out the suspension I should have most of the parts before operating. Any tips or info would be helpful...

Just from general experience lowering cars, I would say the C/C plates are really important. One thing they will help with is even tire wear. Also they will help with keeping the car steering true over ridges in the road. Without them I think you will notice wanting to move around alot on uneven pavement highways/freeways. I'm no expert though, one of the experts will likely chime in shortly. I have lowered every car I ever had, and this just what I experienced. GOOD LUCK!

i put the eibach pro kit on my car and bought the maximum motorsports caster/camber plates at the same time. i didnt put them on for about a week and fucked up my front tires.. i thought the stock adjustments would be enough to last for awhile till i could install them.. in other words, camber kits are a MUST!

Yep caster camber plates are HUGE. Definately a big thing to go for, especially if you want to really make the car handle, the cars dont allow alot of adjustment in stock trim so c/c plates are a big help.
