They say it's close to a 2 inch drop on those Neuspeed springs. That's going to put some added pressure on your struts and shocks. It will work but you can expect there to be some "floatiness" to the ride. If you're just doing it for the looks, then yeah, you're done. Your current shocks will probably wear out faster due to the added work load, though.

If really want to go all the way and take the handling up to the next level, I would get some new shocks and struts on there. Try Koni sport yellow or Bilstein Sports. They are adjustable and will make your car handle fantastic. :thumbup:

The springs themselves wil help with handling though correct?

 

If you unbolt the axles to do the install, you will need new axle bolts.

 

So, if I am getting H&R super sport springs (ordering very soon), any specific recommendations / brands of dampers to go with to support the new configuration if I don't want to get new shocks? Thanks.

I also read that 'a matched set of springs and struts' is another option. Now to find what combo is best for my CC.

just so you know, i installed when we first got our cc..lowering was minimal and i ended up cutting some coils out of them to get a decent drop...and they ride like shyt...

i still have them, if you wanna pay shipping i'll send em to ya...

i suggest against it though..but will..

You need a "special tool" to spread the knuckle clamp at the bottom of the front struts. Search for the part number and vendor.

 

A 3/8" to 1/4" socket adapter works as a cheap tool that works.

but... www.metalnerd.com has a variety of tools for sale

 

Also take into account the wheel combo you will use. While shocks do affect ride, the profile of tire and size of wheel plays a part in the ride as well. Something to keep in mind if you will upgrade those too.

 

I have these exact springs on my car, it does not drop 2", more like 1.25" after the springs settle.[/QUOTE]

So these really dont go that low? I was really looking forward to that 1.8" drop. Do you have any pics also?
