...I lower cars every day at my shop and have changed the suspension on every vehicle (84 cars and trucks to date) that I have owned over the last 35 years. I went with the whole BTG suspension (springs, shocks and struts) and I have yet to find any thing close to the quality of this stuff. The Cruiser now does what it looks it should be doing already! No bottoming, no creeks, no rubbing.. and the ride IMPROVED 50%.. they fit right and look right. I run the car up to the speed limiter (130 MPH) at Nashville Speedway often, before I tried it and was white nuckled after 95 mph now I drive it at the limiter with one hand. God I'll be glad when the limiter is gone, I really do think a modified turbo cruiser has a pretty good top end. The shocks and struts are made shorter for the lowered springs. If you don't change struts and shocks all you got is a lower car actually handling worse than it was, it appears to improve cause it's stiffer... not more controlled!. Most don't realize but if you take the original rake out of the car you ruin the turn in on the front suspension, makes front wheel drive handle much worse. A set of sway bars are in the works made by the same company and will be ready soon I understand...I promised I would not reveal the manufacturer of this stuff and I won't. But I also installed hub-centric wheel spacers front and rear for a much better look and compounded the already fabulous driving improvement. Do a little research and think... the same manufacturer also made the spacers, it will be easy to figure out. The whole kit was branded with the manufacturer name (not BTG) when they arrived and it had their part numbers also. I wish BTG gave me the parts for pushing 'em... they don't, I would still buy BTG if they were much more expensive. Just giving some solid feed back on this subject....
