Default Suspension question.

Are there any mods that I need to do in order to fit this kit on my car, or is it just a bolt-on application?

I'm on a pretty tight budget right now. Later this summer I'll be able to spend a little more. I'm looking to just make it safe right now, and that seems to do the job and a little extra.

Leaf sizes determine stiffness.
Mid = 1" drop
Reverse = 1.25" drop

If you want to drop it an inch, you gotta use the mid-eye leaf springs like dawtips just said. You gots to read man.
