RE: Plain english lowering info
Yeah, I was just searching online for more info and was getting the same type of information you just mentioned. If I were in a shop they would have made it sound like I had to get everything. You know how it is.I will not go lower than 1in, 1.5 at the most. Good lookin out.

Ride for several Months without the adjustable shocks and struts you will see that they are a must with the Sportlines the stocked shocks cannot handle the load to well. Just reading these forums for the past year I have seen somebodies front end link sheer off at the front strut with the sportlines.

RE: Plain english lowering info
Eibach Prokit is a nice compromise of ride and drop. With this, ideally you would want to go with shocks and struts (adj would be better). This will help eliminate the "bouncy" ride people complain about after lowering their cars. Camber plates will help correct the angle geometry that changes when you lower the car. An adj panhard would also recenter your rear end, which shifts off center when you lower your car. LCAs would also help.

RE: Plain english lowering info
I lowered my rear only. I used Roush springs and they sell just the rear if that is what you want. I can't have the front lowere because of my driveway. The car sits perfectly level now and no other parts are needed. You can put the rear springs by yourself as they don't need to be compressed.

RE: Plain english lowering info
Very Nice Conv!!! This is what I have recommended to flewbyu as well. Can always go way more agressive later. I have Eibach ProKit but after doing the rears I loved the stance and have not done the fronts. Now that I have CDC agressive chin spoiler there is no way I ever will. (Fronts for sale)
