Great upgrade from the stock springs. Matched up with Bilstein struts and rear dampers can feel the higher spring rate and corners so good. Even though its a small drop Im scraping every damn thing. I'm still glad I purchased these springs. Buy with confidence!

Love these springs perfect drop on my Gen 1 ms3. Get compliments everywhere no rub or anything with the corksport spring/shock combo. Perfect for looks and daily driving. Not to mention corners become your friend fast with these springs.

Do I have to replace the front sway links with these springs or can I reuse them ?

Asked by Julian Rojas | 05/29/2019, 06:30 PM | 1 answer(s)

you can re-use the stock end links, the springs do not change how they operate.

If I install these springs with the shock and strut kit - is there a need to adjust the sway bar link length? If so, should I be purchasing longer or short links - and how much? I am already using Corksport shocks, struts with a 1.2/1.0 drop and upgraded sway bar bushings and confirmed tight link connections.....suspension seems a bit clunky.

Asked by Keith Bickley | 08/01/2017, 04:00 PM | 1 answer(s)

We offer front-end adjustable links. The rears don't really need to be touched.

With the purchase of these lowering springs, do you all recommend buying additional parts such as adjustable rear toe arms and/or adjustable rear camber arms to perform a proper alignment? Or can you to get the vehicle alignment back into manufacture specification with stock parts to avoid having to purchase and install those additional parts?

Asked by Jesse Guerrero | 06/30/2016, 08:23 PM | 1 answer(s)

Due to the drop of these springs being as modest as they are. Alignment wont be terribly affected. Adjustable arms shouldnt be needed unless you are trying to fit in some aggressive wheels.

As long as you do not go wider than a 235 wide tire, then you should not have any rubbing issues.

Do you still need a alignment after installing the springs? Since it was just about an inch drop I was just wondering.

Asked by Larrison Gervacio | 03/02/2015, 01:41 PM | 1 answer(s)

Yes, an alignment is recommended anytime you change suspension components, even if it was to swap and keep the stock height.

No camber kit is required when installing our lowering springs. A factory alignment is possible on the stock camber setup.

I just bought a set of Koni Yellow shocks/struts and had a question - do I need to trim my rear bump stops after installing these springs? Koni said it should not but trimming directions should come from the spring manufacturer. There is a lot of conflicting information online and I'd love a solid answer!

Asked by John Semple | 10/27/2014, 07:25 AM | 1 answer(s)

If you want extra suspension travel you will need to cut the bump stops. We recommend cutting them, but some people prefer to leave them.
