Bump ..... this is a great gathering of information .... any chance we can make it a sticky ?

 

[Ron380]

What do you think folks? Any additions, corrections or adjustments needed?

Please feel free to send me additions for this! :grin:

If I get some good feedback, I'm hoping to get it "stickyfied"!

 

[PaCharger]

great idea and thread. You could add KW coilovers info. Also...may want to add sway bar sizes/options since they tend to be popular suspension adds too.

Nice work!

 

[BadazBee-423]

Great job.... I'm with PA about the KWs. We may also want to find info on max tire and wheel combos that have been used successfully with and w/o lowering kits.... JMO

^^ Thanks! Checking with TByrne now for permission to add their link!

Could we add some information about wheel spacers? I remember reading someone saying that AWDs might be able to use 20" R/T & SRT style wheels, but that spacers would be required. Did anyone ever find out anything more about this?

 

[Ron380]

^^ Thanks for the suggestion. I'll do some digging on that one when I get home from work tonight!

[Quicksilver83]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the offset is greater on the AWD wheel, then if we added a spacer to make up for the difference on the RWD wheel, wouldn't the wheel's position be the same?

 

[Ron380]

TPMS link added.

[whowhawere1]

Are the eibach springs the best way to lower your car, or what else for a cheap price could you add to the springs to make the lowering that much better? Random too but what wheels to get with these options http://www.performanceplustire.com/...manufacturerID/1/wheelDataID/30594#prodAnchor
all well priced, just wondering what is the best deal for those prices.

Newbie lowering kit / suspension Q n A

So, i get 20" Foose nitrous wheels, and love them. But of course, there is always the next step. In a perfect world I would buy a coilover suspension kit with sway bars, but...

Can i get away with buying just lowering springs? Eibach pro kits seem popular and readily available. And i want to lower the ride but not damage my car so try and recommend a ride if you like. I don't need to be in DUB pages with my car, but i want it to look sharp.

Is there a downside to buying just the springs?

Do i need to get anything else if i want to lower the ride and will have to wait to spend the real money on a coilover suspension kit?

Will it change my clearance and ride in the winter months, and the pothole city which is now left in the viaducts, bridges and obstacle course in Chicago?

Let me know your thoughts as digging through old posts and sticky wears my eyes down.

I am obviously new and mechanically limited so try and be as informative as possible with the feedback

 

[Ron380]

Bump for Newbie... Can anyone help him out with some info?

Pedders USA should be added to your list

Pedders suspension offers a complete suspension package for the LX product including just about every bushing in the front and rear end. Plus shocks/sruts, and multiple choices of coils. We even offer custom made adjustable sway bars that are made specifically for the Track II product.

When the car is drvien hard, there are mutliple issues going on wih bushes and such. So check us out. As far as I know, Pedders is the only one who offers this level of suspension upgrades

Rob at Westfield did the first test fit. the front is quite different that RWD, so I think they have enough info to be able to continue on the development of the AWD. So be patient buddy. Pedders will come thru!!
