i was thinking about getting this kit http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku
it has FMS lowering springs .5" rear and .87" front
Hotchkis Caster/Camber Plates
and Strange shocks/struts
for $675.95

but are the caster camber plates even necessary for that amount of drop? by purchasing the kit i would save about $100 give or take but the caster camber plates are like $230 for the pair.. i could get rear control arms for that but then i would be paying $100 more..

what are your opinions?

you wont be happy with those springs... they are a single rate spring and will ride VERY rough... all the time

nacanitihs

what kind of springs would you recomend for a softer ride? but i cant lower the car too much cuz my front wheels rub enough...[:@]

ur showing me the "deterioration in ride quality" ?

i would want progressive rate springs then right?

my car drives like a tank right now n e ways lol

AdderMk2

the M-5300-B (B springs) offer the same small drop as the C springs in that kit you posted, but are a progressive spring with will smooth out the ride, while still maintaining good handling characteristics

alright cool thanx adder


but do you think that the caster/camber plates are necessary for that amount of drop?

AdderMk2

nope, not at all

adder i heard C/C plates where really only nececssary for cars with coil overs in the front... is that correct info???

AdderMk2

CC plates are only necessary if the alignment is too far out of spec and can't be adjusted with the stock equipment


thats all
