Default Evo Coilovers with lift kit

I am looking at the Teraflex long arm kit and the front Evo coilovers but I don't want to buyparts, such as the coils, that I won't use. Is there someone who sells a kit with the Evo coilovers?

If you plan on going coilover at all four corners, you would need the TeraFlex Long Arm upgrade kit and the TeraFlex High Steer Kit along with the coilover systems.

If you are going with coilovers just on the front, you would need to also purchase the rear springs/shocks of you desired lift height and a rear trackbar/bracket.

Well hell that was my plan! I'm glad it's gonna work out for me, 5"s with a 2" body lift, and then the 37's


Question; Do I have to go with the Long Arm Kit? If so, Why?

Up to 37" tire, a short arm kit with pinion/caster ajustability (adjustable control arms) will work great. 12" travel shocks

38"+ we recommend a long arm kit with 12"-14" travel shocks.

Here is some info:

Hey Mel, I've noticed some rubbing on the reserve hose for the driver side shock, any thoughts, recommendations, or otherwise?

Since short arms work with this system, can the front coilovers be installed with a 2.5" BB? What is the minimum amount of lift required for the front coilovers? My thinking is, if I use the stock arms with the coilovers, I'll use the lift as is till I get the long arms later. Or is this not recommended?

I'm trying to plan my spending for my tax refund.

First you won't need your factory springs, shocks, or BB pucks, because the coil overs replace that. In fact your stock spring and shock mounts are cut off in order to install the coil overs.
Second is that the way it was explained to me is that if you use the stock control arms then you have to cut the control arm mounts for cam bolts. It is much more advisable to purchase adjustable control arms.
