What else needes for after market springs
Hey guys I have been planning on getting after market springs for my s5. I already bought a set of kyb agx, initially i was looking to get eibachs pro kit but realized they don't make them any more.
I am now looking at the Tanabe GF210s and was wondering what's the input from you guys. It's about 1.7 inches drop which is pretty aggressive. If I do get those since they are cheaper than the racing beats what else do I need to get to fix the rear camber issues that usually happens with lowering?
Thanks

Get a adjustable camber link for your rear end, and a bump steer kit to level out all of your steering linkage in the front end. All can be found on Mazdatrix site.

I had RSR downsprings on my FC for awhile and had no complaints. Definitely better than the tanabes

Theyre getting kind of hard to find too. I'm actually surprised I found em so easily.

A 1 inch drop only results in roughly 0.5-1 degree of negative camber. It doesn't physically hurt anything, but you are changing an important suspension setting.
I run that much camber on the street and it's fine.
My two cents: Everybody I've talked to dislikes the performance of the tanabe springs. Look for some racing beats or eibachs in the used parts section.
