yes you do need an alignment

 

So whats the ride like with the stock shocks/struts, with 1.75f, and 2.25b those babies are gonna blow soon. I heard that anything over 1.5 is bad for the car.

 

How is it going over speed bumps? I wanna lower my SS but that's my one worry.

 

Many people are riding on lower springs and stock struts/shocks with no problems so far.

 

I'm liking the Progress springs kit!

 

I lowered mine 2 years ago with the Eibach pro-line kit and the stock shocks are doing great. Cornering is bit-chin! I also added a progress rear sway bar. I did not do an alignment and tire wear is purfect. 32000 miles and doing fine.

 

Not sure if its already been posted here, but here are the suspension torque specs:

 

Wow! That was a lot of good info, and thanks to everyone that participated with info. But now I have a question...who do I go to now for the goldline springs? Is there another as worthy as so.cal on this site? Please direct me in the right direction as I am fairly new to the site. Thanks for any info, this is a great place!

 

Somebody has a set of Goldlines for sale in the forum classified section.......
