Default Lowering car 1 inch or less???

im thinking of lowering my car but dont really want to buy the struts and the other stuff...dont really want to spend all that money. read on here that if u only drop ur car 1 inch or less you dont need all the extra stuff. the stock stuff will hold up and not mess up the tires. cuz thier are lowering springs with a 1 inch and .75 inch drop. want to know if this is true????

I did steeda sports, 1 Inch drop but had everything else done at once to save on labor. I think your struts would still give out if you dont.

I wouldnt even mess anything under 1" and at that steeda sports are going to be the most comfortable. But you should really get some dampers.

I used Roush springs in the rear only ,, along with new Take off GT sway bars , struts and shocks the whole package was a great improvement ,, If you dont lower anymore that the one inch you wont need camber plates or adjustable pan hard bar ,, I will post a pic of my Vert First with 17 inch tires
Then with 20 inch tires Snowy that day
