I installed the Goldline 1½" F and 2.0" R and love 'em. Decent ride with not a whole lot of change in quality from the stock springs. [?]
I already hit with the Crusher front end at times so the slammers would be a little much for me...love the look on them but not worth the hassle and expense of replacing the front facia.

When you any of you lowered just the rear did you use the camber correction kits? Or if you have not have you noticed any problems? What is the general feeling on the forums about using the kits?

A.C.,I just lowered rear only.Did not use the chamber correction kit
have not had any problems other than a knock every now and than from my mega flow exhaust hitting the axel. Nothing major.I like not having the PT butt in the air look.Changing the rear only is a snap. If I can do it anybody can.

Changing the rear only will not effect camber. Camber is whether the wheel leans in or out at the top. Caster is what makes the steering return to center after a turn. Lowering the rear will increase caster. Technically, this should make it harder to turn but with power steering, can you really tell a difference? I'll let you know in a couple of weeks.
If I can find this thread again....

Thanks everyone I appreciate the info. Hey 2sb what brand of tire are those whitewalls?
|
|
|||
|
"Junkyard" brand[:I] I set up a pair just to see how it would look in WWs. (Wife couldn't make up her mind without seeing.) If you want narrow WWs, the narrowest ones I found were "Michelin Harmony" (may be "Symmetry"?) but smallest size is P205/70R15. Would give worse handling and smoother ride.

Yeah I have run into the same problem. The ones I found were the GoodYear Regatta 2's in 205/70, Futura's which actually do come in 195's but it is a Cooper tire which I have heard mixed results about. The other is a Pirelli but again the size issue comes up.

If you want a wide white wall but still have lower profile, you might consider "port-a-walls".

my springs went on monday, so i've been having some fun. we had to change the back shocks too, the factory didn't fit the lowered springs (just so anyone that didn't know, now knows and doesn't have to wait and extra 3 DAYS!!!!!!)
i'll post some pics whenever theres a sunny day. HOLY CRAP am i ever getting attention now! gawking, staring, pointing, went through tim hortons drive-thru and some guys hanging out in the parking lot came up to me IN LINE to ask questions... springs are a MUCH cheapier way to get noticed than a boob-job ![]()
