Lowering kit HELP!!
Lowering kit HELP!!
Just invested in Tein coilovers. Was hoping some one who could help me with all the other parts i will need to keep my cars alignment from being out of whack. And possibly some links where i can find these parts. Thanks!!

Hi and welcome to Nico Club!
Tien makes lot's of coilovers. At least we can see what car you have. Which coilovers do you have and how much lowering do you anticipate?
The amount of lowering is what determines the amount of suspension geometry that needs correcting. You might not need any parts, you might need some eccentric bolts, you might need all the arms and drop knuckles and what-not.

Its the street performance coilovers by tein. And anywhere between -1.3in and -2in which i believe that the coilovers max out at -2.1 if i remember right.

Okay, 2 inches isn't huge. It's different, but not a lot. I believe you can achieve proper alignment using the stock adjustments. I think you should install your coilovers (or have them installed). You should then take it to an alignment shop and let them do an alignment. I think they'll get you all set up. I do know, that if they found they couldn't get an angle (camber, caster, toe) to spec (per manufacturer), then they will have actual degree measurements of how far your wheel is out of spec. That there will be enough for you to decide what additional parts you may need. Again, I don't think you'll need any, but if so, it's probably just a pair of eccentric bolts for camber in the front. They'll let you know which ones and you'll be able to shop for that. You can even report your alignment numbers back here and we can help you find the correct parts to correct the angles.
I was slow on reply also! Sorry about that!
