alright so sooner or later i'm planning on doing a complete suspension makeover for my 89 GXL. so heres what i got in mind

tein S-tech lowering springs
KYB AGX adjustable shocks
racing beat sway bars
polyurothane bushings complete set(energy suspension prob)
and prob some new tie rod ends(dont know what kind though...someone guide me too a good set)

so i got 2 questions....1 is there anything else i can get that would need replacing?

2 with the lowering springs and shocks its prob gonna be 1.5-2 inches lower so how much camber am i gonna need? my car is mostly just highway driving but when i'm on twisty roads i like to give er. so i'll be working the suspension out...i'm thinking like -1 somewhere around there? also where do you get camber kits?

your setup that you listed is good but i would go with suspension techniques swaybars, they are the biggest swaybars for the fc's and the tien type-s are the factory spring rate all they do is lower your car i would go with tanabe the increase the spring rate 20-30% and also drop the car 1.5inches. i would also go with cusco camber plates. and unless you flare your fenders the safest you can go on tire width with 32 mm backspacing is a 215's

hmmm cause at the moment i've got 225 on my car and 16" rims

whats your back spacing

you could be rubbing something on the front end i know i was

BFG G-Force Sport's, on 16x7 +40mm (stock size TII wheels) and I have no rubbing. Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, Tokico Blue shocks. Car is lowered like an inch. I don't know how it will be if you lower your car more, though.

I would get a rear camber bar also. The one you can adjust without removing from the car and maybe some small spacers also.

oops i thought my car had 225's but it actually has 205's. so i'm guessing those would fit just fine.

Don't the Tein's only drop an inch? Not 1.5 to 2.0?

rx7b13

no they dropped mine 1.5 i measured the wheel gap. its 1 to 1.5 they dont go anywhere near 2. if i had a 2inch drop my resinance chamber on my catback would be scraping the ground when i hit the slightest bump. plus they are the stock spring rate, yea they may feel stiffer but it is just because the are new but once the are broken in youll want new ones... i know i already do and i havent had them on my car for a year
