I'm looking at some of these to get pretty soon. I was wondering if that's all I need to lower my car or if there is some other stuff? I know there's other stuff where the springs are, but I can't remember the name right now.

There's actually a good GB deal going on right now. I'm thinking about getting them for this price

But are the springs all I need to lower it?

Springs will do it for ya, but you may have alignment issues that you'll have to take care of.

All you have to do is install the springs and get the car aligned. Some people go ahead and do more while all the wheels are off.

I did search actually. A bunch of crap that was no help at all came up.

I looked at some and didn't see any that helped. The search thing always comes up with way too many things. I even narrowed the search and stuff and it still came up with tons of crap. Not like it matters anyway. I got my answer. Thanks.

Another thing to consider would be getting new shocks/struts if you haven't. Even if you get the shocks and struts down the road a bit, you'll still have to have the car aligned again, so you may as well do it all in one shot.

 

[awild]

Yeah but in all honesty, why spend the extra $200 or so now for struts just to save the $40 for another alignment?

If they need them both then do them both. If not, just lower the car.

And a quick one for ppl with Intrax: Do you get the negative camber nightmares I have heard from lowering your car?

I just installed the Intrax on my car tonight. It looks 10X better. If you have never lowered a car before I would suggest getting someone that has done it bofore to help!!

[Madrox]

Heh. I'm going to get this one place to do it.

 

[ScarletFeVR4]

I'VE GOT THE INTRAX SPRINGS ON MY OLD 92 STEALTH AND THEY'RE GREAT! I WAS SUPRISED THAT THEY WERE NOT AS BUMPY/BOUNCY AS I WAS TOLD. INSTALLED THEM BY MYSELF IN ABOUT THREE TO FOUR HOURS USING AIR TOOLS AND A FLOOR JACK. BUT IT WAS NOT A FUN JOB. I'LL PAY SOMEONE TO DO THE JOB ON THE VR-4. I DID GO THE NEXT DAY FOR AN ALLIGNMENT. PLANING ON GOING WITH GROUND CONTROL ON THE VR-4 THOUGH, BECAUSE I WANT TO GO LOWER.

my car lowered about 1 inch immediately after i took it off the jackstands, and then dropped another 1/2-3/4" in about 3 weeks. I had the car aligned immediately after, and after the springs had settled (free lifetime alignments from sears...and the sears auto by me actually has some competent employees). I didn't have any alignment issues...they were able to pull it right into factory specs.
