Lowering my car (need advice)

Re: Lowering my car (need advice)

I would go with the hotchkies, or strano springs. They have better spring rates and wont ware out your shocks as fast if you are still using stock shocks. You will still want to get new shocks though. Hotchkies /strano springs are much easier to match up with good shocks then eibach springs are because of the amount of drop/spring rate they have.

I already have Bilstein shocks so that's taken care of. I wanted to do the springs at the same time but it's difficult for a half broke college student to tune up a car.
I could only find spring rates for the Eibach and BMR springs, either is better than the worn out stock ones though

Thanks for the pics it looks good. I'm not as worried about wheel hop because I don't drag, I'm more concerned with body roll and cornering, I'm gonna get sub-frame connectors next
Do you guys who had wheel hop have a lsd?

Re: Lowering my car (need advice)

no they worked

They do work, just need to have them , so the LCA's are parrell to the ground and not going up or down. I added them, but still was spinning bad so I added the UMI's tunnel mount TQ arm and that plants your car down to the road. I might get a chirp from changing gears but no spinning the tires. I just can't believe I've had my Eibachs 12 going on 13 years on my car and their still holding up fine. I think I have gotten my moneys worth out of them.

Yes




So the LCA Reloc. will work with the stock control arms and everything?

Re: Lowering my car (need advice)

^ Yes , there is like 2-3 slots for the LCA to go in, it might just be 2(I would have to look), I just picked the one that would make the LCA parrell to the ground. They also bolt in. I bolted mine in and then hit it with a welder on the back side, just to make it more sucure.
