Static lowering an 850 questions


Recommended Posts

Okay. After reading everything that I could about lowering 850s,I've decided not to use coilovers and to do the lowering with IPD springs. Thought about using Koni orange shocks/struts although the shocks/struts that are on there now are in great condition,and also I carefully pick and choose the roads that I drive on with all of my vehicles.

My humble question are what else is or should be suggested along with this change? I'm thinking the IPD HD spring seats also.

I have the Platinum Edition wheels on it that were on it when I bought it (43et offset?) with 205/55-16 tires. I plan on 17 x 7.5 wheels with a 45et offset (5mm spacers front/10mm spacer rear?) with either 215/45-17 or 205/50-17 tires in the future.

Shock/struts mounts? Sway bar change? Endlink change?  I have lowering springs on a couple of my vehicles with no shock changes and the combo has held out very well. But I've also done a shock change one of my vehicles that has lowering springs up front and lowering blocks in the rear.  Any input is helpful and appreciated.
