Lowering the car affects camber which affects toe. Get the toe checked and reset.

No matter where you end up buying them, you will find their web site helpful. I understand that they are made offshore so there may well be a distributor for the same thing but possibly under a different label in other countries. Here is the URL for Specialty Products. http://www.specprod.com/ Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited

What are PI springs? Progressive maybe? 99 SVTC, T-Red, #652/2760-12.8.1998 Mother#@%@!* did I sound abstract? I hope it sounded more confusin than that!
