Question Regarding Lowering Kit
Hey guys,
I recently purchased the MA Lowering Kit for my '94 base. I've searched and can't find exactly find what I'm looking for, so I'll introduce my questions here:
1. How much would I need to shave the front shims to achieve this exact height?

I've messaged JEFNSLA, but he hasn't been online in a few years.
2. Do I need to purchase any bushings? I've read that often times the bushings are shot, but I'm not entirely sure which bushings I need to order since I haven't broken into the project yet.
3. Are there any other things I need to replace while doing this? I don't want to dive into it and realize I need to change something before reassembling the car.

From what I understand you need to completely cut the shim off the spring.For an inch drop its not worth the hassle.If you want to lower the car right you need an adjustable front spring,VB&P sells one for about $400.
