Ok so i am picking up an eibach sportline spring kit which is said to drop the front 1.6" and 2.0" in the rear....

What i have:
steeda adjustable panhard bar
Strut tower brace (not needed for drop i know)
Bmr camber bolts
Eibach pro dampers struts and shocks
Eibach sportline spring 1.6 by 2.0 drop

What i think i might need:

Lower control arms (this is what i was thinking of getting: Steeda rear lower control arms, chromoly steel, urethane bushings, blue) ????

Lower control arm relocation brackets (this is what i was thinking of getting: BMR rear lower control arm relocation brackets, bolt on) ????

Adjustable upper control arms (this is what i was thinking of getting: Granatelli upper control arm, adjustable) ????

And a bump steer kit?

The reason why i was so specific on the parts above is because i would by them used off a guy locally and they are a STEEL, tell me what you think guys, and please dont tell me i NEED them if i really dont, i am a high school kid with out a closet filled with money haha.

Thanks guys

 

Are you asking if you need LCA's to lower the car?

No. They aren't related to each other.

 

i guess i meant to lower the car properly???

 

With adjustable LCA's it allows for adjustment for the angle of the driveshaft or something, but it doesn't really matter. Buying LCA's in preparation of a drop is overkill.

 

thats what i thought to, thank you

 

When i dropped my car i did the uppers, lowers, panhard, springs, struts, everything.

The relocation brackets were a good idea.

I never used the bumpsteer kit.

The lowers were nice, becuase when we were aligning everythign afterwards it made for a real nice adjustment, especially for pinion angles. Not needed, but definitely a good idea if your getting them for the right price.

Just make sure to weld the relo brackets in.

 

When lowering the amount you're planning I would forget about the rear...you'll have issues back there but the front end is where you'll suffer the most. It's my opinion because opinions differ... you will want (or imo need) adjustable upper strut mounts, bumpsteer kit, and either X5 balljoints or control arm relocation kit (or both, though I'm not convinced you actually need both as they perform the same function). If you don't have the X5's or control arm relocation you'll be forced to adjust your upper strut mounts fully negative to bring the camber even close to correct. And doing that will have an effect on steering, strut function and general front suspension functionality. My steering, suspension suffered until I installed the X5 balljoints to bring everything back into alignment allowing me to adjust the camber plates back to a moderate range.

Camber bolts affect the spindle angle as opposed to the front suspension as a whole though they have their purpose in fine tuning I've discovered.

 

i am getting them for 140 for the brackets and lca's good?

 

What company?

 

steeda for the arms, and BMR for the brackets
