Help choosing springs


Im not sure which ones to get, dont really want to drop it 2 inches in front, for the fact that ill hit anything on the road, and dont want to compromise ride quality, and if theres a good deal, maybe springs with shocks and struts, driving over railroad tracks is like going off roading...

You really need the caster camber plates when lowering you car. Also think about a bumpsteer correction kit from steeda

So with sum 18 inch wheels going on in the fall, the springs, cc plates, all that, i can pretty much get all that and not have to worry about anything with the additon of the extra inch? may sound dumb but im just asking

Wel the wheels will push everything up and inch if your running 17" stockers. They wont really effect much. The springs, depending on the type are going to lower and inch or 2 depending on which ones you get. If they say 1 expect 1.25" because the springs settle after install. Just make sure you get CC plates for it or else you wont be able to get it aligned well if any at all. Depending on how many miles your car has on it you may want to think about shocks while your there because lowering you car will put extra pressure on the stock ones which will eventually go. I dont know how deep your pockets are though, the shocks arent required but a great addition.

Yea that helps. Well when i get springs, im def. gonna go with shocks too, and maybe a sway bar. I just wanna see if its wise to buy it now, without having the new wheels on, in case sumthin decides to rub or sumthin ya know

Nothin those springs kick ass too. Just wanted to represent for the H&R crowd. Its an agressive drop though and I have to be really cautious at every bump in the road. But damn I look good doin it. Good luck man!

Word! Cali roads suck and it seems like every neighborhood has mountains for speedbumps.
