Arrow Will I be fine with just an Eibach Pro-Kit? And anyone with a Pro-Kit, inside.

Just what - can I get by with just the Pro-Kit and not upgrading anything else at the moment? I do eventually plan to upgrade the rest of the suspension, but not now necessarily.

Will they give me too much negative camber to be adjusted correctly? Is it a must for me to get and adjustable PHB?

Anyone else just running the Pro-Kit?

You gonna come up and help me?

Also - is the ride gonna be a LOT worse? I expect it to be a little stiffer - but hopefully not 5 or 10 times worse, no?

I agree you will be fine. I have other suspension upgrades, but they were not necessary just to lower my car.

I have the SLP Level one Susp. and it increased my handling A LOT! I deffinately would say that it really doesnt lower the car all that much.. I like it though, and believe me when i say that you will have a fun time with the front end!!

Definantly get shocks while your doing the springs atleast to save the hassle/money of having to do it later...and I wouldn't worry about anything else until your ready hell I rode around with a bent PHR for about a month and I'm still here and I saw no odd tire wear and no camber probs.

BTW if you can't do all the shocks doing just the fronts will be fine
I got bilsteins up front and stock 100,000 mile decarbons out back...That reminds me I need new rear shocks :blah:

I just bought that thunderracing lowering kit. It comes with the eibach pro kit, adjustable panhard rod, and the control arm relocation brackets. It was $350........................

I can't wait to get them on, but I hear the fronts are going to be hard. I'll manage though, .

Here is the before pic www.eden.rutgers.edu/~bhawalka/xcam13.jpg

I'll post some afters later.

As far as shocks, I think I'm going to leave them stock for now, but we'll see because those shocks are $$$, I think they are around $100 each. I'm doing the drop more for looks then performance. I probably will get the SLP takeoff shocks for $25 a pair,
