06 Suspension - Focaljet

Hi there guys, I'm a little confused. First of all I want to let you guys know I have been searching this forum for about a week straight now and haven't found a straight answer. The question I have is that I want to lower my 06 ZX3 but I am confused. I am hearing mixed things. Now correct me if I am wrong, from what I got out of here, if you order the whole kit persay the Eibach Pro Kit, with the shocks, struts, and springs, swaybars...etc.. you can do this no problem. But if you wanted to just buy springs you can't because they taper,? and you can't use the stock strut tower. I want to get the Eibach Pro kit or the Ford Racing kit, so I was just wondering if what info I got is accurate. Thanks guys...

niether, the knuckles are different on the 06's you cannot use the eibach struts/dampers.

i am in the same boat as you. i want to lower my 06 but we have to wait for the aftermarket to catch up.

but, if they did fit, you would have to buy new shocks to go with the springs.

The different springs make the dampeners go out quicker because they are not made for the different spring rate that aftermarket springs will have.

Thanks guys, that is what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear, but I will just sit back and be patient. And also, I will be buying shocks to go with the springs. I am in the market for the complete suspension upgrade. Thanks again guys

How expensive would it be just to get a 2000-04 set of knuckles for the car and swap them? I mean it couldn't be that much right?
