    It will be an inch in the front and an inch and a half in the rear. I'm hoping I won't have to buy all the extra parts.

    You're going to need new strut caps. The stockers pretty much fall apart when you remove them from what I've seen.

    The camber bolts are nice, and only $35. I can almost guarantee you should buy an adjustable panhard bar too, as it will shift the rear end out upon lowering.

    Relo brackets aren't 100% needed, but if you drag race the car, they will reposition the angle of your LCAs. I have a set waiting to go on, just haven't yet, because I'm sitting at stock ride height. I guess I could install it now, but just havent

    Please don't lower your car without buying real dampers, I know you are actually going to take it out onto the track, so I'm sure you don't want to be out there bouncing all over and hitting the bumpstops every corner.

    Yeah Mark, I do plan on tracking the car, I was just hoping I could lower it, and not do all this other crap buy spending a fortune on dampers and shocks and panhard bar. If that's the case I'll just keep the normal ride height.

    Honestly, the Pro-Kit springs are pretty soft. Chances are you would be OK. The only problem I see is the reduction in bump travel. Most stock cars I have tracked are on the bumpstops often, so replacing the springs with ones that take away precious bump travel without adding much stiffness is a recipe to be on the bumpstops all the time. But for how cheap springs are, you could always give it a try.

    I actually have considered buying new bumpstops, ones that are a softer compound.

    Does anyone know if the Camber Adjustment Bolts, are necessary to get the alignment back on track??
