I need Info for Lowering

Now that I have my 18s on, I really think that some moderate lowering will give her a better look. I'm looking at Eibachs, the shop that did my rims recommend Teins. What do I really need for a moderate drop. By moderate I mean avoid additional hardware to return to factory alignment specs. Once again fellas , thanks.

if you lower it, you will need additional equipment to return it to factory camber specs.

what entropy said... that being said eibach is probably cheaper bc 300 degree makes 30 dollar kit to return it to factory specs, vs tein who you will probably need adjustable a - arms and all kinds of ****.

that being said, do eibachs with the 300 degree camber correction, and then get some ofthe KYB AGX adjustable shocks... many people have this setup and love it. it is a good balance between street, and track, and is adjustable.

Thanks fellas. BTW, here are some pics of the new wheels. Now that I have driven over 300 miles on these wheels and everything has settled, the look is a lot better than the photos show. However, I'm basically at OEM overall diameter. Because of that I still think that lowering will make it look the way I envisioned it from the beginning. I'm also contemplating a 5mm spacer for the front:

Before:


After:






For anyone interested, I worked with the folks at JTune in Wilmington, DE to make this all come together. These guys had several 350s with megamods - body, suspension, engine,..name it, they do it to Zs. They worked with me all the way.
