Hello,
I'm new to this forum and joined to learn more about suspension and what parts I need to lower my car. I've read a lot of posts and have been confused as to what parts I need to produce a nice drop without compromising additional tire wear, bump steer, and severe ride quality.
I was highly considering the Eibach Sportline springs.
I measured the gap between the top of my fender and top of tire and have approximately 4 inches in front and back. With this said I thought the Sport lines would help deliver more of the look I am looking for. I would probably be happy with about 1/2 to 1 inch gap at most. I think this might be about right. I have known people who have installed the Eibock Prokit and they were disappointed cause it still left to much gap and didn't really lower the way they intended.
I am confused first off which springs I should use... Again I am leaning toward the Eibach Sportlines. I already ordered the Motorsport CC plates
p/n 47000. I am considering the Tokico shocks/struts, but not sure which model. I was told the D-Specs were pretty nice, but again I want to make sure they don't produce a racetrack stiffness as again I will be using my car for the street. I do want a shock that will help reduce bottoming out in bumpy areas. I did like the fact that they are adjustable though for dampning. Next I've read about some needing offset steering rack bushings as well as the steeda bump steer kit and X-2 ball joint kit. Lastly some have stated they had to use Ford spacers cause their tires rubbed when reaching full turning radius.
Can someone please help me out here?
I was hoping to do this project right the 1st time so I can be happy.
Thanks
