Lookin to do suspension upgrades, need advice.

Hey guys,
what i want to do is use the eibach pro-kit with some 17" rims/tires. Will i need a camber kit, new shocks, anti roll kit? I just want to lower my car an inch or so and not worry about the wheels bowing out, blowing my stock shocks, etc. Any suggestions would make my life alittle easier. thanks.

you won't need a camber kit for the pro kit, as for the struts, you can keep your stock struts, but your ride is going to be bumpy (our struts can't handle pro kit's higher spring rates)

and for anti roll kit, it is dealing with body roll, and changing your wheel is a totally different ball game

if need shocks get koni.they are pretty good. the yellow one/

The Eibach pro kits aren't that radical are they? Some say you can run them with stock shocks and struts since you aren't really dropping the car that much or adding that much more stiffness to the springs. Am I way out of the ball park on this?

pro-kit with Koni are good set up...

Shucks. I can't afford both. I can get the prokit for $195. Koni's are the big bucks.

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]naw you wont need a camber kit for just an inch of lowering you should be good. i dropped my car about 2 and a quarter inches and it doesnt eat my tires or anything and i have 17 in rims on my ride. so you should be good.

I was going through the same thing, and instead of risking the stock struts, I think ill go with a 55 series tire in a 17. I am willing to bet that it will look fine without lowering the car.
