08 GP 2inch lowering

need some advice....

Looking to lower my Gp this year but im not confident on which way to go.

my car as of right now has 156k kms with all original suspension.

I have ran 20 inch rims which i have had to deal with tire issue due to the camber on the rims itself...

so my question is simple... (all advice appreciated no negative comments please)

-should i go for the complete overhaul and replace everything??? (springs, shocks, struts, and add a camber kit...)

-coilovers with a camber kit???

-do 2 inch springs only with all new stock struts and shocks.

or buy a pagani zonda C12 (LOL)

i'm really looking for someone who has had experience with lowering the GP and places to potentially buy parts from...


thanks
 


if you had a camber issue your alignment sucked. wheels and tires alone do NOT affect alignment. assuming you had the correct sized tires, too...

- yes, replace everything

- "camber kit" is a simple term used to fool people into buying more parts. camber bolts are like $10. or you can slot the lower mount (my preferred method). caster is not adjustable and tow is adjustable with stock parts. the coilovers themselves will not allow you to adjust camber unless the lower mounting holes are slotted. i'm assuming a "camber kit" is a set of camber bolts, which you're most likely overpaying for. 95% of parts stores offer them.

- i wouldn't even debate coilovers for a 2" drop, so just get drop springs with new struts, mounts, and bushings. you'd do coilovers if you wanted something like a 4"+ drop.
 
I am alos looking for spacers and Extenders for the GP.
does anyone have any infor regarding that?
 
You want to lower it 2in and use spacers with aftermarket 20's?

No way they will fit then.

WHat is the offset of the aftermarket rims?

At a guess of +30-36, rolling the fenders will be needed, and if you wanted to add another 20mm spacers to that they likely won't even fit at all.
