problems after being lowered?

[Mikes96SVT]

What do I need to do to safely lower my car 3"?

I heard something about the drive shift possibly messing up?? Can anyone fill me in on this? I plan on running BC coils.

Panhard bar to adjust the centerline of the rear axle back to normal, and you'll need an upper trailing arm, an adjustable one, so you can adjust the pinion angle of the driveshaft. If you go that low, you'll need one for sure. Might as well throw in lower control arms as well and just get everything done.

Why do you wanna go so low? Speed bumps will destroy your under carriage!

I would add caster camber plates as that is surely to be out of spec.

Going to need Caster Camber plates, Bump Steer kit, Rear Upper and lower Control Arms, All preferably adjustable, Adjustable Panhard, Make sure you wheels/tires will tuck correctly.

You will also probably be out of range of the ball joint, they wont last nearly as long as if you only went with a 1" or so.

I'd Recommend going with an air bag system That way you can lower it at will, but drive it around at normal ride height.

or possibly Coil Overs...
