Well I am having shocks/struts, springs, camber plates, cobra brakes put on this upcoming week. Are there any bushings or anything else I should order now to have changed as well? I like to go autocrossing twice a month, so if there is anything useful that can be changed in the process, let me know =)
thanks

You'll be just fine with what you have there. What springs are you going with?

Really?...I have every MM part ever made on my car and they never said anything about needing drop spindles.:whoknows:
Sounds like a waste of money to me.

also, a lot of drop spindles will allow you to use drag race brakes. the stock spindles have to be cut in some areas to fit wilwoods.

NEEDING drop spindles, no, but if you want you car to have the look of a slammed car with benefits of a race car, most cars have a terrible ride height look when set up properly for track use, again, it allows you to lower you car more without shortening the suspension travel. It allows anti-dive to remain unchanged and keep the roll center above the ground. Trust me, go over to c-c and see how many track cars run drop spindles.

yeah I wasn't able to get my car very low when I was corner balancing it, but I really don't care how it looks.

i agree, if i didnt have the alignment tools i'd be going nuts, the car looks like shit when its set up for track height.

Ok then thats it. Cuz I'm not trying to give my car the slammed look just an aggressive stance which I got with the coilovers alone.

the rims aren't too bad. Coilovers are awesome for adjusting ride height. sometimes I want a slightly raked look.

coil overs are made to give you the proper ride height, people just confuse that for the, good looking ride height, as well as other things im too lazy to type
