Stab & Steer SS

I want to get rid of the jacked up look the stock SS has.Has anybody swapped out the stock SS rear springs to the SLP bilsteins to lower the rear.Also will I need adjustable lca's to go along with the springs? Are there any better ways to lower the rear enough to make the car sit level.I like the front height just need to get the rear the same.

Thanks,Chris

The Bilsteins are shocks, SLP uses their own spec Eibach spring to drop their cars with this shock. And I think you mean Adj Panhard rod. The panhard rod will not be nessisary with a modest drop from the SLP Eibach springs, but would help to "allign" the rear.

Your front end will sit higher than the rear, and look really dumb. I used slp eibachs, front and rear, and I still cut the front springs 1/2 coil to get the car to sit right. With the stock springs up front, it would be even worse.

If you want to lower the rear a slight amount, remove the spring insulators on the tops of the springs, and replace with some kind of rubber hose (to prevent metal/metal contact).

I honestly do not know. You may have to buy the entire Level 1 suspension package to get the shocks and springs? Can any SLP guys chime in?

You can go to SLP's website and check out their SLP 'level 1' package and see what it includes. I know it includes LCAs, but not sure about panhard.

You can also buy the springs and shocks seperately, I sure did.
