just wondering what u guys think!

Hey, I just got a set of intrax lowering springs that drop it 2" and also a lakewood adj panhard rod, and new kumho 712 ecsta supras 255/50/16's. Do you think i will notice a significant better handling. what do u guys think? what should i do next?
thanks Nick

yeah you'll notice a huge difference. watch those speed bumps! also i have the same tires and mine do not make for a comfortable ride on my 17 inchers. these tires are hard as hell, you stick like glue but every pebble feels like a pothole and potholes feel like hondas

Oh yeah you'll notice a huge difference! My next suggestion, since you lowered it would be Spohn Lower Control Arms with the relocation brackets. You might want to also look into a Strut Tower Brace and a sub frame connector....then I would say your set.:rockon:

If you want to save a little money, forcefedracing.com still has Jamex stb's for $20. Probably not as good as the Edelbrock 3-pt, but just a thought.

do a full poly bushing kit as long as you're having all that stuff installed (or install it yourself). you will notice a big handling difference

Also replace your ball joints..
It's cheap and easy to do yourself,plus once you get it lowered and go for an alignment you won't hear "you need to replace your ball joints"
