springs and camber???

[deathrow23]

im looking to get a drop around 1.5-1.8..(progress)...how long will my stock shocks last..how would i know if they arent good anymoree..and if i get the progress springs..do i need a camber kit or anything...or can i just take to a proffesional alignment shop

Good question... I want to know myself since I have 18" rims and planning to install springs tomarrow (a 1.5 drop) I heard that your shocks life spand is cut in half with this type of drop but don't quote me. I'm planning to get new shocks anyways but I'll wait till my stocks are gone...

You may or may not. THe front suspension you may because the camber is non-adjustable from the factory. Rears are adjustable. After the installation, you'll have to do an alignment, then you'll see. Many like to wait a few weeks for the springs & dampers to settle a bit before an alignment.

With progress springs, you'll be able to align your car to stock specs w/o a camber kit. As for the shocks, there's no way that anyone can say how long they will last w/ lowering springs, for there are many variables to decide there life span. My guess is maybe a year or so? Don't quote me on that either.

about a year......thats more than enough time to save money for shocks.....

using progress spring w/o a getting a camber kit, will the wheel go butterfly after awhile?

If you really want to do it right........ Hotchkis tuning has a front strut tower brace with integrated "camber plates"..... And we also have the rear "camber links" which let you adjust the rear as well..... Any one can sell just coils... But who has done their homework on the whole suspension set up, including the fixing / adjusting of front and rear camber?????? uh... Only Hotchkis Tuning comes to mind... If you guys need any more info on the parts please call me direct at Hotchkis Tuning 877-466-7655.... ask for J.C.....
