Default Summit Racing drop springs

I did a search on this, but did not find out much about it. Just wanted to let eveyone one know that I purchased some, and am very happy with them. They dropped the car about 1.5" all the way around. The best part was in the directions, it said "When installing you Eibach pro-kit". I thought that was pretty funny.

Rides good as well. I will try to get some pics up of it soon.

Definetly got rid of the 4X4 look. I cant even get 3 fingers between the fender and the tire, and that is with 16" rims. I think they look VERY good, especially for the price.

I also installed brand new KYB shocks and struts when I did it. The ride is realyl good. I had 1 broke spring, and 1 dead shock from the original stuff. I am very glad I decided to do it.

I bought everything from summit racing. There shipping is awesome, since I live pretty close to them, and I think their website is 100 times easier to use than jegs. I bought springs, shocks, struts, and 3:73's for 550.00 shipped to my door.

I'm going to try and get some up tomorrow. I was going to today, but ran out of time.

As far as an alignment, I have not got one yet, but it does need one. It has some negative camber. I guess we will find out when I get it done if I need camber plates or not.

As far as name brand, I do sometimes, but since Summit does not make any of their stuff in house, its name brand stuff re-branded. I mean the instructions even said Eibach

The kyb's ride real good. Its not harsh at all as far as the ride is concerned.

you shouldnt need cc plates since you have a sn-95 but id still recommend getting them, and if your trying to save money you can get the camber bolts and you can correct your alignment with that and not even get cc plates. dont ride too long with the camber off, itll eat your tires quick, trust me i know from experience.
