Default Need some advice/Help from the suspesion Pros

Hey guys, well my rims are coming in very soon and Im giong to be doing suspension stuff very soon so i can put them on. But since i have the chance to just get a bunch of suspension stuff done, i think im going to.

The Mission:

Now the main point of these suspension upgrades for me, is to minimize tire wear, and feathering and try to bring those as close to normal as I can. I dont plan on tracking or anything like that.

Ive looked into some stuff, but still dont know exactly what i need. If you guys could give me some imput on what i should get, and by what brands, it woudl be greatly appreciated.

So far, ive purchased a set of Tein Basic coilovers.

Thanx

I have tein basics as well. 1 inch drop rear 0.8 inch front. THe rear is aligned back to within spec, but the front could not get back to spec.

This is on an 05. I am going to purchase the cusco A-arms.

Once you get your wheels and tired installed, along with your suspension...then your first stop should be the alignment shop. Make sure to ask around, and goto one that specializes in performance cars, or at least has a good reputation in setting up the front end. Don't goto a GoodYear or Firestone oulet. They will spend 5 mins dialing in your car.

I prefer to have alignment done at the "old school" alignment shops, which use mechanical tools, chalk, string, and plain old line-of-sight to verify alignment.

Once the alignment is done, you can determine if additional suspension mods are needed, to get everything into spec. With a subtle 1inch drop, you should be fine.
