I have enough money to drop my car a couple inches. just wondering what i would need. (springs, shocks, etc) im thinking of getting the teins springs. for a 2 inch drop is antying else necessary?

 

i used H&R sports on stock shocks and that was a mistake. granted, i only wanted to get rid of the wheel gap, which it did great. i do not autox or track my car, so this is just for street driving. however, the ride plain sucks.

do it right the first time. look into getting koni yellows or some sort of shock when lowering your car. also, you may want to look into a front camber kit, also, although your camber should not be too bad with a 1.5 inch drop.

also, bank on your rear lower control arm bolts to be frozen, so put away some money to buy some new LCA's.

don't forget a 4 wheel alignment.

 

you may get away with just springs and shocks, but with a 2 inch drop you might need a camber kit. put the springs and shocks on first, try to get it aligned, and if they can't do it, then order a camber kit.

 

hmm then is 2 inch too much. 1.5 its also good, i dont really want to invest in a camber kit. how about coilovers

 

coilovers can get pretty expensive, and whatever you do, don't cheap out on suspension. Go with with something like H&R sport springs. It'll keep you under 2 inches.

Get coilovers if you plan on adjusting your height. If you plan on keeping it a single ride height then springs will suffice. For a 1.5-2 inch drop you don't need a camber kit. But if you want it and are willing to fork over the cash then go ahead it won't hurt you. Skunk2 and Omni both make some quality front camber kits.

I couldn't agree more with .brian, do it right the first time. There is no sense spending money now and having to go back and spend more money fixing your problem.

As for shock i highly recommend Koni Yellows. If you do a search on them you will see that they are highly recommended. And they come with a lifetime warranty.

If you want coilovers hands down get the Ground Control Coilovers with Koni Yellows. With that you can get custom spring rates if you'd like or just get the OTS (off the shelf) spring rates. For this setup look to spend around 825 for the koni's and GCC's.

If you just want some springs just search and see what gives you a drop in that range and see if people like them and go from there.
