Hey everyone! I need help on what parts I need to lower my 02 SS. I know I want the Eibach pro-kit springs, but I'm not sure what other parts I may need. I am really just wanting the look of being lowered not extreme performance (i'm not racing). What do I need to have so that everything drives great? adjustable panhard for sure, what else do I HAVE to have?

 

strano performance parts. talk to sam. knows his stuff. im getting some koni's from him next week. front adjust down 3/4 inch so wont need springs there. www.stranoparts.com

 

are you stealing my sam strano advice? haha! sam is a very knowledgeable guy, especially when it comes to suspsension, he will help a lot

you're going to have to get lower control arms and relocation brackets as well...umi, spohn, bmr all make them

 

u know it. got to talk to him, really nice guy.

parts wise you can get away with just the springs really but eventually the standard shocks leak and you need to replace these. If you want to do everything together get the springs and some shocks (i run KYB AGX adjustable, there awesome). You really need an adj. panhard rod so you can centre the rear end up again. and then for the full works the lower control arms and relocation brackets akeep the geometry of the axle the same so it stop wheelhop and spin and help keep power on the road too.

I got my shocks on ebay, and UMI performance sorted out my other suspension bits. there good guys to ask too

 

i droped mine 2" and drove it a year with out doing anything else. the rear end moved 1/4 to the driver side. i had no traction issues, or wheel hop, the car tracked straight down the road. i now have a adj panhard bar. springs and panhard bar is all you need for the street.

 

are you talking about coil overs? struts dont lower your car

 

the koni s have two settings for the front strut springs. one is stock and one is 3/4 in lower.

 

so it has a adjustable lower collar for the spring perch?

 

yes, thats what strano told me. if they dont im gona have to send them back. should get them this next week.
