Just about set to have the car lowered and full suspension put on. Here's a list of the parts I have: Eibach Sportline springs, Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings, KYB GR2 shocks/struts, BMR strut tower brace (yet to order *), UMI Performance steering brace (wonder bar), Sub frame connectors, LCA's, Relocation brackets, and Adjustable panhard bar. Also, my front suspension stuff: Moog Centerlink, Moog Idler Arm Moog Inner Tie Rod Ends, Moog Outter Tie Rod Ends, Moog Lower Ball Joints, and Spohn Extreme-Duty Tie Rod Adjusters.
I have a few questions... My biggest question- Is there anything not listed above that I should have/change at the same time? Also, will I regret my choice of shocks? If so, what would you recommend? Do I need to wait until all the other suspension components are installed before I have the Sub frame connectors welded in? If so, do I need to wait until the suspension settles? *Finally, does anyone know for certain if the BMR STB will fit under an SS hood without modifications? I think I remember reading somewhere that it would, but I don't want to order it without being certain. Oh, and if it does what color should I get, red or black? The car is black, but I have red MSD plug wires. Thanks for your input and time, Josh.

 

I would have the subframes welded in first. But thats just me.

You will need to readjust your pinion angle after the drop.

You will also need new swaybar endlinks. The proper length will need to be found out after everthings in and suspension settled. So plan on that in a few weeks after you do it.

If your doing everything you listed, why not replace strut mounts as well?

Shocks is all preference. The ones you listed are some of the stiffest non-adjustable ones.

 

Thanks for your reply and insight. Strut mounts are now on my list. Still debating the shocks/struts... -I would love to hear from some more people. Keep the posts coming. Thanks, Josh.
