Default Suspension help

I have ground control coilovers with kyb agx four way adjustable shocks and a omni power camber kit.

I plan on removing the collars on my ground controls and in the front and install some oem upper control arms because the camber kit is banging on my shock towers. Does this sound safe? It should only lower the car by another 1/2 inch.

I'm just wondering if it will make it bouncy or kill the handling. I will probably just play around with it tomorrow. I know for sure I want to take off my camber kit.

Personally I would put the stock springs back in and be done with it. My car handles pretty sweet with stock springs and agx shocks. But since you asked... The banging should go away with the installation of stock upper control arms. Lowering your car further with out adjusting the camber will likely cause your front tires to go bald on the inside. So keep the collars in, replace the control arms, and then look around for some skunk2 ones or something that fits right.

good luck bud.

I will get it aligned after I remove the collars so I don't have to worry about any uneven tread wear.

Ok, I removed the camber kits but kept the collars on. It would of lowered it about a inch, so I didn't take them off. The steering feels different now though for some reason. Does changing the size of the control arms change the way it should feel?

it feels different because the alignment is different now. think about it, you lowered the car and had camber kits but took them off and its still lowered, the alignment is going to be off. and you said you'll get it aligned after you change to stock a-arms, well good luck getting it in proper spec, depending on how low it is, if your not running camber kits you better just admit the fact that your tires are gonna wear faster
