im planning on dropping my car. i got the suspension but im also on plannning to get new wheels. should i wait to get the wheels? i just dont want to align it again after putting the new wheels on. what should i do?

 

depends how low you planning to drop it to...my opinion is if you planning to drop to fender tire ..better wait until you get your wheels on first so you could adjust to where you want it....so just get it right the first time around..save you the time

 

ya im planning to get bigger wheels too. i guess ima wait. thanks

 

ya pat you are a smart man

"better wait until you get your wheels on first so you could adjust to where you want it...."

best thing said here

 

Coilovers.... Problem solved!

 

lol thanks. just wondering, do you need to re-align your tires everytime you take them off. (including when you rotate the tires)

 

no way that would be expensive as hell. what suspension do you have? if they are coilovers wich i imagine they are because if there springs you dont have a choice how low they go. just lower it and then get the alignment when you get the new wheels.

 

IMO, o with a good set of quality springs with a moderate drop like ST (suspension techniques). They off two different drops similar to Eibach, but are better prices, and ride very very well. I use them in many of my cars.

 

what set up are you using? springs or coilovers? You should wait to get the wheels/tires to make sure you aren't lowering it so far that you have rubbing issues. If i were you, I'd get coilovers. Then your ride height is adjustable. Also, anytime you are going to lower a car from stock height, you need to get aftermarket shocks/struts. OE struts are designed to operate at stock ride height, and when you lower a car on stock struts, you'll ruin them quickly. It's not necessary to do at the same time, just know that it will come, and you'll need to get new ones.

 

get the wheels and dump that

 

i wouldnt drop. i just finished my exhaust today and already bottomed out on it, lol.

 

well im using the tokico illumas. the package came with tokico springs (red) as well.

 

whatever you do, get a nice camber kit! it makes all the difference!
