Will the pro kit work??

i've got 285/40/17 tires all the way around and im wondering if the eibach pro kit will work well, or will i get a lot of rubbing. if i do the lowering kit, do i have to get lca relocation brackets, and if so, which are recommended. thanks guys

Have you looked at the recent LCA bracket threads? That will give you an outlook on what they are for.

Alot of people seem to like Spohn and Global West, from memory.

I just took a look at the recent lca threads and am a little confused on another thing. they seem to be good for drag racing because they keep the wheels planted better, but for road racing, will the eibach pro kit and lca relocation brackets make for better handling then now, or should i expect more oversteer, which i dont want when road racing. as it is, i have the bilstein level II suspension and i like it a lot, but i just want to be prepared for this upcoming road racing season. thanks guys

To check the LCA, you want to see where the height of the front of it is, relative to the rear. So measure from the ground up to the bottom of the front, then the rear of the LCA. If you're a road racer type, then those should be equal distances (I'll just make up, "within 1/2 of each other"). If you're a drag racer, you want the rear of the LCA lower than the front, by an inch, maybe two. Right now with your springs, the front it probably lower - not good for either scenario.

When you lower the car and you don't have LCAs, the geometry is VERY screwged up, and as I said in one or more threads, the rear is very tail happy even at low speeds.

I have the pro kit with 315's in the back and 275's in the front. I think that you would have no problems running these springs.
