Exclamation pro-kit

So if i get a pro kit on my ws6 would i have many problems? Because iv read threds about the spring and almost every one i have to get new shocks or agjustable arms and my axle will be non-centerd. so is droping a car 1.25 a big deal. Because i just thought id have to buy the springs, and id b good to go... but i guess not right?

The only thing needed to lower a car is lowering springs. Im assuming your running on stock shocks? The fact is, stock shocks in the long run dont hold up well with lowering springs. The only other thing that you need is an adjustable panhard bar to re-center your rear end.

I'm running the Pro-Kit with no issues. I have heard others saying their axles are not center after lowering but mine was fine. I would get either some Bilstein or KYB Adj shocks put on at the same time. Overall this kit is real mild on the drop side of things.

I'm running one on stock everything (shocks, panhard, lca's) and I've got 315s out back. The rear end is fine. Doesn't ride bad either. I don't put a lot of miles on my car though so I can't tell you about longevity.

what you need and what you should get are two very different things

btw, get the LT1 pro kit for your car and not the LS1 pro kit.

The LT1 kit is better for both LT1 and LS1 cars.
