Lowering my baby

Well i think its time 2 lower my baby....im thinking of the FRPP springs and steeda adj. panhard...do yall think that sounds good? let me kno what u think...

yah, sounds good to me. the frpp sprins are nice

imo id do C/C plates regardless to fine tune the drop....you can never get enough play/movement out of factory components....it may be "green" on the alignment sheet but it can still be border line.

FFRP = Eibach same exact spring. Its made by Eibach. They are the Eibach Pro which I have, just not installed. They are the top of the line progressive spring, without going to an H&R or Tein.

With the FRPP springs, you won't need the adjustable panhard bar, but still may add it to fine tune the axle location. The axle doesn't really get off center until you go more than 1" drop. I would recommend the BMR PHB (cheaper than Steeda!) as I have the Steeda and it is a PITA to adjust!!!!!

So far, very few companies make caster adjustable plates for the S197. Most are camber only. I got the Steeda HD upper strut mounts that allow barely enough to get it almost dead on aligned. They're $300. I'm wondering if the addition of camber bolts to take it to dead on alignment would be worth it?????

BMR has come a long way since I delt with them. I purchased my LCA's from them the same week I bought my 05. Unfortunately their LCA's back then were junk, and would break bushings every other month. for a panhard bar the red poly bushings are fine, but LCA's and UCA I would go with the black hard rubber graphite inpregnated bushings. I believe Metco and Steeda are the only ones that use the hardened Black Rubber that does not break over time.

i cant see a problm with such. as long as everything is tight then no problems shoul arise. itwould help get the alignmentdead on to factory or desired even specs side to side giving a nice caster offset between the left and right side.

I recently installed the Eibach ProKit and an Edelbrock Adj PHB. Edelbrock makes a nice bar.

Just stay away from the Steeda PHB and you'll have no troubles!

well i ordered BMR panhard and FRPP springs

Sweet! With those springs you shouldn't need camber plates and from what I hear, the GT500 upper strut mounts are better than the GT, so those should be fine to reuse also.

yea i kno what is what swayed me 2 them...also i heard they wont be out of alignment at all

what wont be out of alignment?

your mom

check your pm

they are in my car w/ the box of hog rings!

thanks buddy

they might b 2 large...but u can reuse the stockers and just use the tool...

sounds like a plan. i watched video tutorial on the process for our seats and it looks way to easy

cool cool....no way im tearin my seats apart and drillin holes for that switch...

dude, you're a wuss. I've already cut a hole in my hood. this is cake

yea but its not even ur car...and i wont install anything on my baby that requires cutting or drilling...i want 2 be able 2 return everything 2 stock...just in case
