Hey all,
I just put 18's with lo profile tires on my baby, and now it has such a big gap under the fender it really needs lowering. I want to know the proper way to lower without damagin shocks and other parts of the car. The tein springs interest me ad i think a 2" in the back and 1" in the front frop would suffice. A buddy told me that you shouldn't just buy springs as this will ruin the shocks. What if i get springs and coil overs? will that ruin anything...or have wear and tare on the shocks. I am looking for something cheap, but most importantly i want it done properly. With lower, good handling, and wont hurt shocks or any other parts of the car. What do you guys suggest. I may need more drop than what the tien springs provide. |

Wouldn't properly lowering a car require that you get the car aligned? Which brings me to my next question. Do they make a camber kit for our cars?
