I know the following questions have probably been asked many times before, but I only came across this website not too long ago. And as I started looking for my answers through all the old posts on this board, it got deleted.
Let me get to the questions. I want to lower my 2001 Galant, and any feedback I can get will be sincerely appreciated.
1. What brand of lowering springs in your opinion give the best ride (with and/or without stock struts)? And with those springs, can I still ride 4 people in my car without excessive bottoming?
2. Exactly what type of ride would you describe that those springs give in comparison to stock suspension?
3. With those same lowering springs, and a 18" rim with a tire size maximum of 225/40/18...will I ever get any rubbing or any other problems in general, steering fully cranked during a U-turn, etc.?
4. Is a camber correction kit needed with those springs, and/or is there a point where after so much drop, that a camber kit is needed with any springs? I ask this because I have heard a couple people say that with any light drop, (like with Eibach springs) that the car doesn't get dropped enough to need a camber kit.
5. What brand of camber kit would you think goes best with those springs?
6. What are the best prices you know of for those parts, and from where?
7. I'm sure there are other factors I probably don't know of...so any other information I need to consider...please throw it in there.
Thanks, to anyone who responds to this post. All or any information will be greatly appreciated.
Also, props to the creator/s of this website, I can see it allows a lot of people have a place to gather and share. Really cool.
Thanks again, Peace.
