Questions about lowering.

I am lowering my car with the Eibach Pro Kit(weather it actually lowers it compared to the 13 year old stockers is yet to be found out) and i want to know if i am forgetting anything else i should/need to replace while im doing it to do it properly.

Eibach Pro Kit
Bilstein HD struts and shocks
Strut Mounts
Adjustable Panhard Bar


anything else needed to do it properly? Ball Joints are brand new, I have Poly bushings for the front control arms that will be installed when i do the springs.


for strut mounts i can get Monroe or KYB at a discount, or i could order the moog ones from spohn at regular price. What would you guys recomend for strut mounts?

Your list is pretty complete and you will be quite happy with the results. I would also add in a set of lower control arm relocation brackets. They will posistion your LCA's back to the factory angle. They are cheap and worth the investment.

Sounds like a good plan. Some people don't have wheel hop problems after lowering. For normal driving you should be okay.

could get the bmr bolt on LCA brackets, then sell them at just a tad lower cost in a year.

Would do that if you do end up having wheel hop probs.
