Lowering springs with stock si shocks?

F1fletch · 01-27-2007, 02:50 AM

I would love to upgrade to HFP stuff but I like the stock ride but would like to lower it about 1.5 and use rear arms with adj camber to dial it out a bit. I believe I can acheive pretty good handling without a larger rear bar by setting camber at about 1.5 in the rear instead of 2.5 or more on a std lowered car.

How will the stock shocks handle the Eibach or H&R setup?

Springs with stock struts

I don't know first hand, but the information in that thread above might be useful.

Just dont cut your bumpstops in half, Maybe a quarter off and you will be good.

Did you go with a Camber kit or just a good balance? does your car hit alot maybe going over bumps and inclined house enterences?
