Need lowering springs for 02 Coupe.

I'd like to drop my car about 1.5 inches and would also like to get rid of the factory "rake" ( rear looks higher than the front). I'm not really into performance too much... so i'd like to keep it simple and hopefully under $200.00 for lowering springs alone. This is mostly for looks as the car is a slow automatic.

btw will I need anythhing other than springs? Like a chamber kit, coilovers or anything? Id like to just buy the springs and not worry about anything else.

You cant just put lowering springs on and call it a day, it will blow your stock shocks. You need new springs, shocks, camber kit, alilgnment. Theres a reason im saving up $1000.00 for my drop and its not because im getting the best of anything, Im just doing it the right way at the lowest possible cost.

D2s or Basics are what im decideing between. And a camber kit is a MUST!! or teind stech springs with tokicio hp blues. That is a little less than 1.5'' drop for like 800, and will not blow out like stock springs would. but that is not adjustable like full coilovers just to keep in mind

Re: Need lowering springs for 02 Coupe.

I was prolly goana do the blues and stechs since its a couple hundred cheaper and I dont need to adjust. However my question is do I need a camber kit for the front and back or just the back ?? I gotta pay for labor to so I have to factor that cost in.

Re: Need lowering springs for 02 Coupe.

you always need a rear camber kit for any amount of drop, but sometimes for the fronts you wont need it. they are cheap enough that you should just buy it anyway even if the shop doesnt end up using it.

Re: Need lowering springs for 02 Coupe.

Could someone please give me a link to the camber kits I will need for front and back? Ive found links for the suspension but know nothing at all about the camber kits. TY
