I am about to order a Neuspeed X-brace, and Espelir springs.

My goal is to improve handling, lower the car, and not sacrafice ride dramatically. Does this sound like a good setup? Do x-brace's vary in quality?

 

Another question, can you correctly set the rear alignment with Neuspeed springs? I found a great deal on them.

 

Anyone?

 

Well your stock shocks are going to be gone in about a month, and about the alignment, take it to a shop that deals with alot of lowered cars be sure to let them know that you have lowered the car they should be able to fix it. I know most shops won't even work on a lowered car. Also be ready for the bumper to be messed up when they take it on and off the lift...

 

So I guess the Neuspeed's are a bad idea.

 

I would go with a whole kit shocks and coilovers

 

The sky is falling, the sky is falling.....

I've had H&R springs on stock shocks for about 3 years now and my shocks are fine. Problems with stock shocks happen with excesive lowering or with old shocks that have worn in the proper range and are now being asked to work in a different range.

 

Hmm, I was going to purchase a guys shocks who ran Neuspeed springs, and I was going to put Espelir springs on them. Is that a bad idea?

 

Eh? I wouldn't buy second hand shocks (OEM?) and then put aftermarket springs on them. Why not just use your existing shocks?

The sky may not be falling, but it is a little overcast.

 

Thats what I have decided to do. I just ordered Espelir's and a Neuspeed X-brace, thanks everyone!
