Default for those who have lowered there car I have a question for you

If you take it down another inch have you noticed that it handles alot better or just a little? also you do need a camber kit correct? thanks

I'm not using a camber kit and it's fine. I think a lot of how a car handles when lowered will depend upon the springs and dampers used more so than how much it's lowered. I'm not saying that just lowering it won't help, I'm saying that you'll get better results with a proper setup.

When I bought my suspension, it was about 95% set up for my specific vehicle and just needed to be dialed in a bit, the fact that it also lowered the car was simply a perk.

personally, i think my car handles slightly worse after being lowered with spoon progressive springs. like kendall said, it all depends on the parts used.

a camber kit isn't needed for such a slight drop, but the adjustability that i kit would offer is always a perk.

I thought the same thing, but I got an alignment and the car handles much better now. A good alignment is essential.
