hi

just ordered The Steeda sport springs today. I have noticed that everyone is also getting koni or frpp shock and struts in addition to their lowering springs, my question is, can i just use the lowering springs alone without anything else and maybe in the future when I have more cash on hand get the struts/shock etc...

please advise, any help is greatly appreciated!

 

I have done it that way on my 06. If your doing the install yourself all the better. You won't have to pay the install labor twice that way.

 

ill be taking it to my buddy's shop. he has all the necessary tools and its FREE

 

I have read some posts that say the stock shocks/struts are fine, and some other that say that they got a lousy ride after lowering with the stock shocks/struts.

Sam Strano has good deals on Koni's right now. I am thinking about the same thing and will go with the Koni's if I go ahead with the springs.

Related question is -- what else is really needed? I'm pretty sure an adjustable panhard bar is important so you can get the rear end centered under the car; also I have heard you need new upper strut mounts and/or caster-camber plates (same thing?) and/or upper and/or lower control arm relocating brackets in order to get the alignment right. But then again some people seem to be lowering without all that stuff.

 

Camber bolts and adj panhard bar is about it. You can probably get away with out the panhard bar for a while if it doesn't look to far off in back.
