Lower caps question

[Beltfed]

I just happen to find a set of brand new IPSCO lowering caps under my passenger seat (96 GTS), still in the package LOL. Previous owner never put them on apparently. I’m considering them, but I rub and hit everything already. Looks like these lower the car between 5/8-3/4 inch. Two questions; do I need a spring compressor to install? And will lowering the car 3/4” to a new ride height require a 4 wheel alignment? If it does, I may just pass, or that’s a great time to get all new control arm bushings….

Same comment as on the alley. Already rubbing but want to go lower?

^^This.... But just get coilovers. Old stock suspension is likely shot by now anyway. I did the caps and it didnt ride all that great and I ended up with BC coilovers anyway.

Yes you need spring compressor, and a typical off the shelf auto parts one likely won't fit.

You dont need an alignment but it's recommended.

they look nice lower but aren’t we all already rubbing in and out of gas stations etc…..I would not install myself but I get why you would too!
