I want to run 1.75-1.5 springs from AM on my 01 v6. What all do i need besides the springs? Thanks for the help everyone!

the prokit?


Tokico HP struts/shocks pair well with it, and you may want to get a set of C/C plates.

Caster camber plates, shocks & struts, X2 ball joints, and bumpsteer kit.

If you are going to daily drive the car, I would get H&R springs, a little softer for street driving, and tight when you need them to be.

false.

you dont need the X2 balljoints, or the bumpsteer kit. Im lowered 2.2", the GF's car 1.3", her dads and stepmoms cars are both down 1.7". none of us have X2's or the BS kit, and not a single problem driving or alignment.

is it nice? yes. needed? no.

As stated all you really need are the caster camber plates. If your current shocks/struts have a lot of millage on them or if they're making noises change those two. The rest of that stuff is for more adjustability due to racing, you don't need it, your stock is more than adequate.

Honestly, you are borderline even needing the caster/camber plates.

Anything more than 1.5 you should have them, but if you stop at 1.5 you don't need them.

Take the money you'd use for the X2 ball joints, bumpsteer kit and cc plates (depending upon if your drop isn't lower than 1.5in) and place it towards: CHE or UPR lca's / MM FLSFC's (if you haven't done so already). Be well worth it.

OK. I didn't know. I have seen info on why they were needed for a 1.5+ drop.
I am still trying to learn, absorb as much as I can too.
