Dropping the car

[chow]

I was wondering what else i would have to do if i were to drop my car by 1 inch.

Whats a camber kit?Will i experience more tire wear?Should i wait to get rims ( Which i will be upgrading to 18's)?

I've never dropped a car before so.. tips please.

No need for a camber kit on the coupe from what I know. There will be more of a wear on the tires though. If you want a 1" drop, wait for the Eiback pro-kit springs to come out for the a/c.

with only a 1 inch drop there will be minimal to no camber adjustment needed. When you start getting to the 1.7+ is where you would want to start thinking about a camber kit.

With any kind of drop you will need to reset alignment and adjust the camber

Also no kit is needed for the rear it has factory adjustments and no adjustment for the front, but ingall makes the fast cam bolt for the front

info and part # from Ingalls site;

Just an alignment.

Ok, so im going to pick up my lowering kit from eibach in decemeber somtime, i was wondering if i could install the springs myself..

I mean, do i need special equipment besides the wrenchs and ordinary stuff?

How much will it cost to drop the whole thing.. i need a range..

[generic808]

You'll need a spring compressor! And of course the norm, like a jack, jack stands, torque wrench, socket wrench, etc.

If you have it done professionally from a speed shop, expect to pay somewhere between $120-$180 or so.

Im assuming it will be cheaper if i brought it to a shop?

Spring compressor.. Sounds kinda dangerous..

its not hard to do the drop but i would suggest looking into a sportier strut and shock combo. 1 inch you may not need it but i wont swear to that. i noticed when i dropped mine i needed it.

Ok, so if i use the eibachs, its basically taking the weight on the new springs im buying right?

IF i buy a whole new pair of Shocks and Struts, i can lower it to my desire?(How much will that cost?)

I think im going to stick with eibachs. Will a 1 inch drop do anything that ill feel? (Breaking, cornering etc)

I do want to take the car to the track..
