Default Best lowering kit?

Topic pretty much explains. I know you can just loosen the bolts and get it lower. But I am just going to go ahead and get the kit. Is there any out there that are better that others?

To be honest, you are wasting money buying a kit. You can buy everything you need from a local bolt supply store for less than $10 dollars. But if you want to spend the money, I think all the kits are the same with their urethane bushings and Grade 8 bolts for $50 You can get them from most of the supporting vendors. :cheers:

7 inch by 1/2 Grade 8. You need 2 and two locking nuts. Also get 4 washers. Should cost just under $10

My personal feeling is the stock bolts go far enough to let the suspension work properly. I road race and I am completely satisfied in stock bolts. If being low for looks is the main objective then do it but it will be low and may cause some damage. Don't forget alignment no matter you choose!
