The stance looks much improved! I just installed the FRPP "B" springs on my '97, the amount it lowered appears to be about the same.

I am so confused on the topic of lowering my car. Some say you need this, some say you need that. I just want to drop the car a little to get rid of the gap. I just bought a 2012 GT Brembo Pkg.

Is it accurate to say that all I need is new springs and a panhard bar? Will my suspension ruin over time by doing this?

You're suspension will wear like all suspensions do. If you are a stock struts, they will more than likely need to be replaced sooner.

I have pretty much made up my mind that I am going to lower my 2012 Brembo. From what I have read, I need M-5300-K springs, M-18183-C strut mounts, and M-18000-A struts/dampers. If I have to change out my struts/shocks that would be a deal breaker. I am just looking for some guidance here to make sure that I don't miss anything that will cause me to go back and pull the springs back off.

Mosh,

Just saw your thread now...car looks great! Are you using the stock shocks and struts with the FR K springs? I assume you have the FR M-5300-K springs on now right?

Thanks

Yes. Stock struts. A little bouncier than if I went with aftermarket struts, but I'm happy with the ride still.
