Stanger35thGT

alright, heres the situation.

im looking at lowering my car, and im either looking at gettin H&R Supersports, Eibach Pro kit, or Eibach Sportlines.


Now, another concern i have is dealing with my shocks. Would it be best to replace the shocks with either of these set of lowering springs or should i not worry about it? I know they wear out quicker but, is it necessary?

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

-Jayson


*SIDE NOTE* - my front shocks seem like they are a bit newer, as they are stiffer than the rear. the rear is real loose and gives in more than the front, perhaps the front shocks were replaced before i bought the car.....In conclusion, would it be a consideration to just buy rear shocks and not worry about the front

When replacing springs, you really should replace the struts and shocks at the same time and pick a setup that will work better with the lowered ride height. Though, 95% of those do not do this.

Another 35th on the boards...nice!!! Anyways, back to the shocks and such. Most people will say that you are ok to not put the shocks and struts in as soon as you get springs, but I say go ahead and do it while you have everything pulled out. Changing all of the spring rates like that will make your stock shocks and struts go out a lot sooner so just go ahead and buy something good to put in there while youre already messing with it. Welcome to the boards, and show us some pics of your car.

Very sweet looking ride. I love that white with the honeycomb on the rear. I wish mine showed up more, but with the car being black, it just doesnt.

Supersports all the way. Get new shocks/struts while you're at it....
