Necessary Suspension Upgrades when lowering..
I'm going to be dropping my car about* 2" (S14) soon [springs/shocks]. The car is strictly a daily driver, however, I want the car to handle as precisely and comfortably as possible. I understand that when going lower then 1.5" that camber and toe becomes an issue. I've already considered camber eccentric bolts, but I'm exploring the possibility of going even further with adj. arms, i.e. Tension Rods (spl), Tie Rod Outers (spl), RUCAs (?), and even adj. Toe Rods(?) for the rear....
Is all of this overkill? Or is that more a relative question, depending on the person? I chose not to go with c/o's because I didn't want to increase harshness THAT much, but don't mind stiffen the car up more then stock to get as close to the suspension/steering/look feel I want. If not, should I do them all in one shot or is it possible to do certain arms at a latter date - reason being : I have other aspects of the car to dump money into...
I've got my sways already, springs are on their way, and the struts will be ordered within the next month or so... I had planned on doing springs,struts,sways, t/c rods, eccentric bolts, wheels, tires, and alignment in one shot... then doing the tie rods, RUCAs, and toe rods if needed afterwards...
thanks fellas....
