anybody know or think this is a good idea? I am getting my long await tax money back and its finally time to start really modding my car.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/KYB-Shocks-S...sories&vxp=mtr

Basically, i am wondering if this is all i need to properly lower the vehicle, i know when you lower the car a substantial amount like this, you want to replace shocks and struts. My concern is whether this will be everything i need or not? I am sorry if the answer is already on the forum already, i did a deep search and couldn't find an answer. Anyone out there have any thoughts??

Make sure to ask the seller if the struts and shocks come with boots. If not you'll have to order them separately. They're cheap though. That will be all you need though. I wouldn't get an alignment until after the springs settle some though, like 2-3 weeks.

I'd recommend the Racingline FSTB

I agree go with Racing Line FSTB and check out Progress Auto for the rear sway bar.

+1
Or the SE-R rear sway bar if you're on a budget. You would save $60-$70. Which could be put towards getting an SE-R or Suspension Techniques front sway bar.

i honestly think a rear sway bar and FSTB is more than enuff. and even adding a front sway bar could be hurtful to the body roll the FSTB diminishes. idk just my opinion i guess.

An SE-R front sway bar can't really be hurtful.. I mean they put it on the Altima stock.

well, i am probably just going to use a fstb and the rear sway bar, but who knows, maybe i will do both sway bars and then a fstb. How could any of these be harmful?

It wouldn't really be hurtful. If big enough it could hurt your launch (only time I've ever heard someone complain about one). Getting the front sway bar would definitely help keep your front tires glued to the ground on cornering though. If you like taking a corner and having no body roll then I would recommend it.

i never said itd be harmful. read be4 u speak. i said it would be HARMFUL TO THE BODY ROLL DIMINISHED BY THE FSTB. meaning beefing up the front end too much will just be pointless. having FSTB and RSB is more than enuff. i was thinking of both sway bars be4 and got the advice not to from another forum. google it. i think it was nissan club i read it.

I can't see the sway bar being a detriment in any way. Having a strut bar and a rear sway bar will make a big difference, but adding a beefier front sway bar will only help not hurt body roll.

Can you explain what you mean by "harmful to the body roll diminished by the FSTB"? It sounds like what you're saying is the bar will be adding more roll. Just need a little clarification.
