Suspension is next!!!
Now that I have my C&L intake/tuner combo installed and my Pypes o/r x-pipe should be here Thursday or Friday and installed Sunday, I'm thinking of alittle suspension. Right now I wanna get the Eibach Pro Kit, which lowers it 1.3-1.4", which is a nice noticable difference, and I would like that look alot. Question though, what all would I need besides the pro-kit? I was looking at C/C plates and LCA, but dont know if thats it, or if I only need the C/C plates or what. I'll be honest, when it comes to suspension and stuff, I'm totally lost. Thanks for the help.

RE: Suspension is next!!!
you should also get LCA relocaton brackets to adjust your pinon angle since the car will be lowered. you may also want to get a adj panhard bar to keep the rear centered you should review this thread....

Usually when you dont get answers right away is because people ask it a million times and you can easily search and get the answers you need.

RE: Suspension is next!!!
Yea I agree sometimes its nice to be able to bring up specific things about your vehicle or what you are trying to do that you cant search. But I have used the search bar myself and found in my reading that the best mods you can do are:
-Eibach pro kit springs to lower the center of gravity.
-Definately LCA and relocation brackets to get rid of that nasty wheel hop out of the dig.
-Camber bolts are necissary to readjust the camber of the wheels after you lower them, that way you dont have uneven wheel ware.
-The panhard bar is going to not be as necissary IMO but good incase one of your wheels is out farther than the other.
-And new shocks are an option since you have gone this far why quit now, get some new D-specs. Everyone says Tokicko is the way to go!

LCA relocation brackets are NOT for pinion angle adjustment, they are for instant center adjustment. Adjustable LCA's/UCA is for pinion angle.

from crazyAl
This is something that is commonly confused.
Adjustable LCAs (or UCAs) allow you to adjust the length of the arm, which in turn changes your pinion angle.
The LCA relocation brackets allow you to adjust the angle of the arm, which is for the aforementioned suspension adjustment (instant center).
The two things are TOTALLY SEPERATE from each other.
If you lowered your car then you would ideally use BOTH. The adjustable control arms let you set your pinion angle correctly. The LCA relocation bracket fixes your LCA angle & instant center.
