  • what exactly do i need, when lowering my car?

    I am planning on lowering my car when I get back from my vacation in NY in September. I want to get Eibach springs (not sure which ones yet), but I was wondering what else do I need? Because I know I need an adjustable panhard rod, and shocks, but what else might I need... Will adding better swaybars help with anything... Please let me know.. Thanks so much!

      I'm no expert on lowering, but here's what I've heard:

      You definitely need shocks.

      You might not need swaybars and they might even be too much, the stiffer lowering springs will add substantial antiroll. This is the one I know something about.

      You only need an adjustable Panhard if your wheels are visibly out of line.

      LCA brackets will restore your LCA geometry to near stock. People disagree about this one.
