Default suspension upgrades = new tune??

hey guys!
next week i'm finally having all the suspension parts i boughtput in: eibach pro kit, tokico shocks/struts, crossmember, k member, rear sway bar, lca's, reloc. brackets, phb & phb brace. a friend of mine mentioned having my tune adjusted, and now i'm wondering... i have a 93 octane brenspeed tune that i got with the cai & exhaust. do i need to get it adjusted to accomodate all the suspension upgrades? i thought that would only be necessary for engine/tranny/exhaust changes...
thanks!

No way. If that's the case, I'm ****ed. You just need to check your pinion angle.

I don't know about the crack comment, but suspension upgrades won't require a tune change. Now if you changed gears, that's a different story.

hey Ink!

Could you let us know how your ride quality is now and compare it later?
Like on a scale of 1-10.

I would like to know with all your mods if it could actually improve over the stock ride, which I'd give about an 8. With just the Pro-kit I now give the ride quality a 7[:@]
