Hey!

Next summer I may get a Sportsline Eibach kit... I'm asking can I just buy the kit, install it and thats it ? Dont have to change any shcoks or something ?

I JUST changed ALL my suspension last summer with brand new MacPherson stuff, so just that you guys know if it can change anything...

So basically would I have to buy other thins then the Eibach ? For the record, I'm not a drag racer dude if it may change anything in the choice of parts..

thanks alot.

Nope, its just a buy and install thing. Most people change the shocks and struts to performance ones when they install springs, but there's no point when you have basically new ones.

There ARE other things you would need to buy that would keep your suspension geometry in check. With a drop that low, you are going to need CC plates and a bumpsteer kit for sure. Some other things you might want to look into are Steeda X2 balljoints and offset rack bushings. If you just throw in some serious lowering springs like that, you are going to get excessive amounts of tire wear without aftermarket CC plates and your turn in wont be as crisp because the steering rack will be sagging therefore creating bump steer.

fiveo is right. The sportlines are too much of a drop IMO. I run pro-kits and already have trouble scraping and have to go crooked over some speed bumps and driveways...I can't imagine having the sportlines. Plus, every car I've ever ridden in with the sportlines (many), have been bouncy and even moreso with stock shocks.

I've got 2" drop springs and you don't need anything else for the install as long as you can deal with the little bit of bumpsteer. I havent noticed uneven tire wear either. I don't think it's enough drop.

There are these nuts (if you can call them that. Im drawing a blank on what they are called so someone can chime in with the right name) they are about $20 and they fix your camber. It is a lot cheaper than c/c plates.

I have the sportlines and they definetly aren't to low. they look great and give the car a nice stance. it was my first mod because I can't stand the stock 4x4 look.
