I just ordered my springs and I'll be taking it to the shop next monday. Im going to be getting them installed as well as preping my rear fenders for 285 tires ( getting them rolled). I was just curious if theres anything else I should purchase for dropping my car 1".

As far as I read thats all I need but I want to put 2 and 2 together and get a definitive answer.

edit: I did take a quick read through the Q&A in around this section but like I said above I just want to confirm it 100%

 

look into rear SPC camber/toe.

 

How much are you lowering your car??? I really can't imagine it would be more that 1.5 inches possibly in the rear.

 

I was thinking about going with EIBACH pro-kit 1.2" drop all around.

edit: I read a little and saw that people stated my suspension would go with just aftermarket springs on it faster then it would with just OEM springs on the shocks. So Im thinking about holding onto the springs after installation and the day my suspension goes I get the OEM springs put back on and get my shocks replaced while I still have my warranty...If theres any truth to the statement.

 

 

It was jsut a random thought I wanted to add..you no like??

 

Front a-arms to be able to get your alignment back close to spec.

 

look into rear SPC camber/toe.

I just looked on line at the prices for these on the front and back of my car...It seems to be a little more then I can afford at the moment.
Would front a-arms be sufficient if I drop my car front and back?

 

a 1 inch drop you don't usually need anything for, espeically in the front you do not need a-arms.

yes, your dampers will wear out quicker than if you were stock height but I don't really get what you are trying to pull. you can't get them warrantied anyway AFAIK, and by 'wearing quicker' I mean like 30k miles instead of 50k or whatever, so you will still most likely be out of your warranty.

if anything, look out for a set of Koni or tokicos on sale and pick them up in the meantime them swap THEM in one your stock ones fail. never a reason to put stock springs back on

edit: and obviously you didn't search the forum, otherwise you wouldn't be asking these questions. don't lie...

 

I think at this point it doesnt matter to anyone if I searched or not...Im pretty sure Im full of **** no matter

but I appreciate your post even with your search thoughts, helpful they were

edit: btw I still have over 20k on my warranty as well as 4 years on my new extended warranty. Nissan replaced the tracks under my seat for only a $50 deductable...Im thinking my shocks are covered for another 2 years. I payed a pretty penny for this other warranty

 

My front is dropped over 1" and I'm in spec with stock A-arms

Well, that's what I was told.

 

Well, cr@p. I was told my car was put to "as close to spec as possible" from the seller. My fronts tires are trashed...... only on the inside. I have a set of Cusco a-arms that are going on as soon as I buy new tires. I'll ask the shop about it when I get the new alignment done.
