you shouldn't be having any problems, the c/c plates might help a little depending on how you have them set but I run 265/35/18 and I'm almost as low as you can drive with it and I'm not experiencing any probs how much different is the steeda sway bars than stock?

mm/hotchkis are the best ones I think a little more but worth it in quality.

the steeda is like 36 mm i think but the bends by the front wheels are more square, like a 90 degree angle as opposed to the stock so the sway bar which is about 75 or 80 so i comes into the wheel well more. thought about doing spacers but i dont want the wheels bulgin out and i need to fix my camber anyways. but yeah its getting to the point where when i turn the wheel wants to stop rolling and the steering pops.

There is also wheels stops, I think steeda makes then, it widens your turn radius, but prevents damage to your steering componants. C/C might help, but so would a narrower tire? I've got 255/40/17 running in front with no issues. Stock mach 1 swaybars and FRPP springs.

if you are already in alignment, what exactly would cc plates do to move your wheels? I think the answer is nothing at all, but I'm curious if that is wrong. maybe some of those spacer things? do they make those for use on the front or just the reat axle?

i was thinkin they would since we only have lower control arms. the top of the tire would rock outward more than if we had upper and lower control arms. im trying to find a way to fix this without going smaller than 245 40 18.

um. LCA UCA are rear end. You do have a front a-arm, and possibly changing the balljoint might help, dont quote on that though

Good question for ya...

Did you get an alignment after you put on those springs?


Either way, if your car is dropped 2in or whatever the Prokit drops to...you should be purchasing C/C plates. I don't think the stock suspension has enough adjustment to compensate for 2in of drop and changes in geometry.
