what else should be done when lowering springs
I am getting a set of Eibach Sportline springs, and I wanted to know if there is anything special that should be done to the suspension to accomidate the lowering springs.

adjustible panhard bar to re-center the rear end, lower control arm relocation brackets to correct the LCA angle, and...ummm...then correct the caster/camber. Thats about all you need...if you want to go full out you could also buy a bump steer kit.

Have a Q.
Does anyone have an adj. panhard rod that is totally adjusted as far as possible and the rear is still un-centered?
After I lowered my car, I only had another 1/4 inch of adjustment. It's not enough. I have the Lakewood unit.

I have the Spohn one and I have no problems waht so ever. I have a 3" drop (my rear end was off alot due to the extreme drop) and even with that much of a drop I centered it and still have alot of room left for adjustment if I needed more.

kinda sux huh?
Well, it was pretty even until the springs set in, now it's noticeably off. My 2 inch drop springs must have dropped it at least 2.5 inches.
Hey REVLIMIT, what are your groung-to-fender lip measurements? Also, what is your tire size? I wanna know how far mine is dropped.
