so about 9 months ago i reallllly wanted to lower my car, so i saved up, went out and bought some eibach springs and threw on the car in a day.

now its a while later an im startin to realize im gonna need to update some other stuff.

i dont really notice a change in performance of the springs. but i feel like my shocks, especially the fronts are not doing to good. dont really know how to tell but the sound they make give me a clue their dead. an im wonderin is an alignment necessary, cause i know i have a bit of negative camber, but ive heard that can be good for handling??

anyways, all ive changed about the suspension is the eibach pro-kit's so what else do you think would be needed to help out. keep in mind im probably gonna be doing all the work myself pretty much.

thanks, anything helps.

If you have the budget, get the full setup for suspension

[lcurle]

all cars, once lowered past stock, have a camber to them unless you upgrade 90% of the suspension along with the springs.

So you got the springs...(he's infected with the mod bug people)...
What you should have done is springs, shocks and struts all in one go because now you'll have to go back in there and unbolt everything again...oh well...

Look into KYB or Tokico. Get the adjustables if you have the money or the gas replacements work just as well. The springs make the ride a little stiffer but unless you really want a stiff ride, then the nonadjustables work well. It makes your car more comfortable.

the one thing that i would DEFINITELY get is a bumpsteer kit. It's a night and day difference because it corrects the geometry of the suspension. ever notice how if one wheel hits a bump or a crack and your steering wheel follows it? well, it's not fun having to fight with the steering wheel all the time. A bumpsteer kit that's set up properly will get rid of that for you.

And YES you do need an alignment! The thing is, is that once you lower the car, most *commercial* places can't do it for you beucase they only konw how to setup a stock suspension (ie Meineke, Midas, Car-X etc.) So you'll have to find a local guy that knows what he's doing and set it up for you. i know...I've tried.

you need , shocks / struts , and some Caster Camber plates to fix your "toe in"
