Springs question

[dobiejoe]

I'm done with my custom trunk project and want to move on.

I'm looking to start on my suspension now. I noticed that when I put my 17 inch rims on it actualy raised the car about 1 inch.

So I'm thinking of neuspeed race springs that have a 2 inch drop and
koni yellows later. Before we get started I love the Koni's and will stick with them.

Questions
1. Do you all think I can add lowering springs now and shocks later?
2. Do you think the OEM shocks can handle it for a while(6 months)?
3. What would the ride be like with new springs and the OEM shocks? 4. What would a 2 inch drop do to my camber? Will I need a whole
kit or just a camber correction bolt?

Any idea's would be great. I'm not compleatly set on neuspeeds. but dont really want to spend the money for tein's

1.yes
2.yes
3. depends on the spring, neuspeed race is rougher than eibach pro kit
4. front camber should be within spec, but rear camber will be around -2.5 deg with the neuspeed race

GO for it!! Get a set of Koni's shock for sure I heard it's Great ride! and if you're only going for "sport springs" (not coilovers) w/ a 2' lower look go for the Neuspeeds IMO! ;) but not sure how well the ride goes but I heard it's not bad on stock shocks.

I have nuespeed on the stock wheels and shocks.
1,2&3. I don't think it is a problem, I bottom out sometimes but I just learned to dodge the potholes, which I don't think is a problem for tampa. I had them for probably 6months maybe more, no problems with the shocks. The ride is stiffer, less body roll makes me want to corner harder, but understeer is still a problem for me.
4. The camber in the front is not really noticeable, but the camber in the rear is. I probably rolled 10k with no camber kit and I don't notice much uneven wear. and I think the camber kits come with a bolt for the front and something else for the rears HTH
