Default Steeroid/Lowering question

I want to be sure before I lower my ’79.

I have ’79 with LS3 & Steeroids that sits to high for my liking.

Will lowering front end have any effect on steeroids steering. I will also lower rear and then get aligned. I don't think it will but better ask and be sure.

Thanks

George

If lowering your car you will need a new alignment done.

If you have a Steeroids R/P system you already have the spacers for reducing the bump steer so just use them and you should be fine.

No but you may want to change the bump steer.

Always make sure the Tie rod angle matches the A Arm.
