Doing lowering springs tommorow?
 
I was looking for a good install page or something on putting in these lowering springs I just bought. I did a search and didn't really find a good source for a 4th gen. I am putting in 2 inch Intrax lowering springs and KYB AGX adjustable gas shocks. Can anyone help me out? I did the Steeda lowering springs on my Mustang no problem, but I had instuctions. Thanks --------> Brad

Yep he has one for a set of Eibachs with Hal shocks, its very confusing, if you don't have this, do this, ect...... Also the other link for a 4th gen spring install does not work.. Does anyone have something a little more informative about all shocks/struts. Thanks------------> Brad

Pretty sure that is the Hal/Eibach one that he said was confusing (though I don't know why).


AustinZ28:

Didn't I see another post where it looked like you just ordered shocks or do you already have them? There is no point in doing the springs if you don't have the shocks. The fronts are coil-over shocks and you would have to disassemble them all over again to put the springs on.

OK I think I get the jist of what to do. Right now I cant afford an adjustable PHB (?) for the rear end or the relocation brackets for the LCAs (?) I think that is all I need to properly lower it?. Will it be alright to just put in the springs, shocks and get an alignment then wait a few weeks to install the other stuff mentioned above? --------> Brad

Neither of those things are required for a lowered car-just recommended.

It's really a straight forward job. Pick up a Haynes manual to assist you...everyone that works own their own car should have one to refer to. :thumb:

great guys thanks for the help. -------> Brad

So if I never get them, it won't effect anything? Will I be able to get an alignment with out them or will lowering eat my tires? -----Thanks -->Brad

After lowering, get the car aligned to whatever specs you decide. Lowering mostly causes excess negative camber. Adding the adjustable PHR and LCA brackets won't bother the front alignment.
