Lowering - Supporting Mods

[ATTFighter]

What supporting mods are needed when installing Springs on the S550S with the performance package ? With the 11-13s new struts/shocks... Caster camber plates..... And a Panhard bar were recommended. I was planning on going with eibach sportlines but I heard some people were not able to get back into factory spec with them. What would I need to fix that?

Do you know specifically what they couldn't get back to factory spec? Usually camber is what needs adjustment after a car is lowered. I don't want to put wrong info out there based on my experience with Hondas but I usually had mine functionally lowered (so only about an 1.5"-2" all around). I was able to adjust my camber using camber bolts and caster plates up front. Camber bolts are useful for most lowered cars but more aggressive lowering may require adjustable control arms and/or caster/camber plates. Again, this is my experience with Hondas, I haven't looked too far into my GT. Trying to enjoy it as is for as long as possible and man its hard! lol

So far I don't have any complaints on camber with the Sportlines, one thing I do want is a bumpsteer kit.

It isn't terrible now, but every once in a while the car seems to have a bit of an unpredictable reaction to some bumps in the road.

I haven't done my alignment yet as I am waiting to get my new wheels to figure that out.

You might be feeling twitchy steering due to your toe alignment. When lowering, the front wheels toe out which gives up stability for increased steering response. It will also chew up your inner tires. Not saying don't get the bumpsteer kit, but I bet once your alignment is dialed in much of what you described will go away.

I say about two weeks so the springs can settle.
