Thread: considering lowering my car....

im considering lowering my car but ive never lowered a FWD car before and i was thinking is this gonna put some unnecessary strain on my CV shafts? i know i need the shock/springs some anti pogoing washers and shorting dog bones but do i need anything else?

everything is answered in the "want to lower your car thread"

Mount spacers will correct the lowering for the most part.

Engine+Trans spacers will get rid of the axle vibration

i cant find that thread!!! please post a link

seems like lowering these FWD cars just causes problems

only if you do it the janky way on stock struts and worn out suspension and mounts.

with headers and an intercooler and an upgraded sway bar it sounds like your gonna have a rough time even doing it the right way

i dont understand your concern here.

nothing fits perfectly. ever.

FYI. Stickies are for knowledge.

lol @ upgraded swaybar. all you need to do after lowering is to get some half-size vinnies engine mount and tranny mount spacers. might as well make sure your original mounts are doing okay and replace them if theyre bad

I made my own spacers out of some spare 1/4" plate top and bottom on the mounts took care of the vibrations.

Really the only thing you need with springs is some new struts.
