got the springs already, going with a mild 1.5in drop all round.

what else should i slap on the car while im adding the springs? i figure, an adjustable panhard bar, struts/shocks, upper/lower control arms. and some camber bolts.


should i include anything else or will that suffice?

new spring seat bushings if your suspension has them. most are rubber and have poly replacements. (or get new rubber ones for comfort)

/e pending on mileage/wear id do the tie rod ends too since you will be getting an alignment anyway.

Lowering, after a certain point, changes the suspension geometry. Bump steer spacers are sometimes recommended to correct that change.... Depending on the vehicle and amount of drop of course..

Something useful to know, regardless.
