Lowering My Z

I have a pro kit and I wanted to know what else will I need to slap it in my Z. Will I need anything? And is it hard to do?

Just put the springs on, if you have a spring compressor. Other than that, take it to the alignment shop when you are done.

You don't need anything but basic hand tools and a spring compressor to remove and install the springs if you don't want to pay a shop to install the springs for you. My local Goodyear shop charged me $10. to put the springs on the shocks back in '97.

No...$10. I did the disassembly and assembly, all they did was put the springs on the shocks.

LOL, you are killing me. I am assuming that F-bodies have camber adjustment from factory. Is that right Shoebox?

Check out Shoebox's webpage. If our cars needed a camber kit after being lowered he would be the first one to tell you what you needed and where to get it.

You might want to be easy on the sarcazim (sp) if "YOU" don't know exactly what you are talking about. Shoebox knows his stuff, he has helped me figure stuff out more than once.

Good luck with the springs!!!
