what do you need when lowering car?
Hi I recently lowered my car wit goldline springs, and I like them very much. I've heard you need to add other things for your suspension such as struts, camber kits etc. I plan on later gettin new bigger tires and rims, what do I need to get? This question has probably been answered millions of times, but I looked at the recent 50 posts under this topic and couldnt find the answer. Someone please help, what do I need thank you.
Since you don't have adjustable ride height with your springs, you don't NEED a camber kit. It'd be nice to have if you camber wanders out of adjustment. I assume you got your car aligned once you put the springs in. You don't NEED struts either. Again, they will make things mo better. w0rd

all that has been discussed before man!
you don't need to replace struts LMAO if you put springs on most likely the shocks though
and sway bars you don't need when you drop it neither! seriously though search!
here's what i recommend:
1) if you use springs get a camber kit/new shocks/ alignment
2) if you use sleeved coilovers get new shocks/camber kit/alignment
3) if you use true coilovers umm well alignment!

please search. Read the FAQ and Suspension Tuning 101 by Zzyzx. Just read around the board. We are not repeating over and over again what has been said a million times. If you know nothing about lowering your car and you threw a set of goldlines on there, then you should have researched more. Please research before you slap another part on your suspension without knowing what it does.
