Hey guys, I'm going to be installing my H&R race springs soon. Just wondering if there is anything else you guys would recommend I do while I'm in there? I was thinking I should do the low profile irs bolts in case I decide to buy wider rear wheels. Ive also heard about replacing steering rack bushings? Maybe that would be fix the thud I get when hitting a bump when turning , like backing out of my driveway (more pronounced when backing up). I did also get the CC Plates from MM. Anyways, if there's anything you guys recommend I do let me know. Just trying to get the car driving a little better than it does now. The SFC's and new tires should really help too. Thanks.
Lowering springs- anything else to do while I'm in there

shocks, struts, subframe bushings...check swaybar bushings
2x ball joints, a bump steer kit. I really don't understand the low profile IRS bolt, the tire, even wide ones, only come close to that bolt head in "full droop", unless your name is Joie Chitwood, I don't see that ever happening.
Sway bar endlinks since you're lowered now, and steering rack bushings. The rack bushings make a world of difference.
BTW, the reason for the ball joints..
Sounds good guys, I'm trying to decide if I want to use the MM isos or the stock ones with my springs, not looking for a big drop, just want to get ride of most of the stock fender gap and sharpen up the handling a bit. I am hoping I can find an alignment shop close by that will know how to set bump steer correctly.
You'll also want to adjust your swaybar to be level by getting shorter swaybar end links.

basically when dealing with suspension "parallel" is good..control arms parallel to the ground, steering linkage parallel to the control arms, sway bar parallels to....well you get the idea.
