Putting springs on my car this weekend, wanted to try to get some sway bars to go with it, so I can do it all at once!

Wutcha got?!?

 

no springs allowed, must purchase shocks with them =P

 

yeah... i dont have to much insight about this... but isnt it bad to put aftermarket springs without getting shocks because your stock shocks will **** the bed eventually?

im in the market for used sway bars as well so people shoot me pm's

 

I have run my Z for 3 years with only lowering springs, and I have never had any problems at all. Wheel spacers and an aligment and your good to go.

 

how much did you lower it? and do you drive your car hard?

 

The eibachs lowered it about 1 1/2" all around, and My Z is a daily driver.

 

I think it is a waste of money to do a full suspension with shocks if your not going to circuit race your car. If your just going for looks, there is nothing wrong with just springs.

 

well i wouldnt go that far, i do mountain runs in mine, and weekend fun, thats why i'm doing mine. But i do agree if you drive it everyday, i wouldn't do that to it, it'll just tear the car up faster

 

OE shocks are fine since there really aren't any aftermarket springs that are out of it's dampening range. Aftermarket springs won't wear them out any quicker but aftermarket shocks such as Tokico D-Specs or Koni SA's would definitely improve ride quality and handling a lot. I also suggest you get a set of rear adjustable control arms because regardless of what you've heard on the forums your alignment will be out of spec in the rear.

Check PTUNING located in Manassas and pick up a set of Progress swaybars. I tracked my car with them and liked them. Cheap too and usually in stock. While you're there you might as well have them install your rear control arms and do an alignment for you.

 

Purchased new Hotcki's through AAM

Thanks for all the info guys!
