Default Lowering the car Couple questions

I just got a set of 1.5" lowering springs for all four corners. Is there a right up on how to change em out? I heard I will need an adjustable panhard rod, is that necessary? Thanks

If your rear is way off center, the adjustable phb can recenter the rear. Mine isn't too bad, but I'm going to recenter it anyway. I already have the rod-rod end double adjustable phb

With the TT2's and depending on how wide your tires are you might have to have a adjustable panhard bar to keep from cutting a tire. Check this thread out also, if may help you some ---->https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/677514-help-me-put-my-new-revalved-bilsteins.html

I know it will ride bad, that don't bother me. Will the shocks go out that quick? If so where can I get the cheapest shocks that will work fairly good?

Yeah...theres been a recall on ALL lowering springs of 1.5-2.5 inches. . . for some reason, the companies ALL want them sent to my house until further notice

Nice score! Easy swap for ya and yeah, you'll wanna center the rear w/an adjustable.
