Panhard and new shocks/struts.

You will end up taking it all apart again to put in shocks with correct travel in them. Otherwise you will eventually have that wonderfull porpusing effect that lowered cars have with blown shocks.

I have the Eibach's with 20's & no panhard needed on mine. Every car is different, I guess I got lucky, my rear end is still in-line. I do plan to get a panhard whe I get LCA's.

You can get camber bolts, or do what I did. I went the more expensive way with the Steeds HD adjustable strut mounts. Very HAPPY!

Good luck!

PS If anyone needs a set of camber bolts, I have a set lying around...

all I needed was camber bolts with my 20's (no plates).

cosa, you will likely need new shocks/struts within 6 months of swapping your springs, as your stockers will wear out quickly.
