Umm, nope, not that I recall unless you want to add a rear sway bar. Yes you will reuse your front struts as well as your rear shocks.

I was on the phone with Forgestar themselves (cash in hand) and was ordering these until I found out they were out of stock on their 18x9 barrels for another MONTH. So I bought the PFO1's instead. I plan on getting these wheels next year in gold though.

SS Fan, Did you end up going with the Pedders or the sportlines? I love the Blue. The first pic is before the middle pic is after, is the 3rd pic also a before because the middle picture looks considerably lower than the 3rd. I want the stance you have in the middle so if they are Pedders, then Pedders it is!!

Thanks for the help...I'm sick of driving a stomper.. Lol!!!

Welcome to the site Johnee2x, I will have to update you, I didn't like the bouncy ride of the lowering springs. I took them out and 408SS bought them and He loves them. Mine looks like this now.

interesting about the spacers...some people use them some dont. I can see the purpose of them if your hard core and just gotta have evverything..but for the local Joe who just wants to drop and roll, no spacers are fine. Doubtful youll ever feel the difference anyways.
Its just for bump steer and unless you race is it really a requirement? Your not lowering THAT much compared to some..when u get into 2-4- in drops theres no question some adjustments are needed.
