Default What do i need for suspension

aright, so ive been wanting to lower my car for who knows how long now and ive had springs and caster camber plates for a while, but my dad wants to make sure none of the geometry gets messed up. so besides shocks and struts, what else is needed to keep the ride smooth and make the handling better while still being able to perfectly align the tires.

thanks in advance, will

adjustable panhard bar, adjustable upper control arm or Steeda makes a fixed lenght one for lowered cars, and heavy duty upper strut mounts

Depending on how much you lower the car, the ride isn't decreased by much. I have the Eibach Pro kit, and the ride quality is still smooth. If you really are worried about it, shocks and struts will keep the ride smooth, which is really all you need to maintain comfort. Support bars, control arms, and a strut tower brace will improve the handling drastically. FRPP offers a kit which comes with the basics and is a big difference maker. But in all honesty, you will see a big plus from lowering springs alone. A simple gt front and rear takeoff sway bar will also make a huge difference for just a little dough.
