[QUOTE="ALX_ZR78, post: 31803, member: 12496"] The springs they recommend I install are these Eibach Pro-Kit (38153.140): Fixed combination of 1.0" on the front axle and 1.2" on the rear axle. It maintains the same horizontal alignment. The stock shocks are kept; they only need to be cut down 0.03-0.05 inches to restore travel. They should be aligned with very slight negative camber values of -0.5° to -0.8° (maximum 1.0°) on the front axle and -0.8° to -1.0° (maximum 1.2°) on the rear axle so that the tires sit within the fenders. Regarding the tires...perhaps your Equinox was FWD (front-wheel drive), which presents fewer problems when changing tires...I have a 2016 LT AWD, and if I adjust the ride height too much, I run into traction problems, ABS issues, dashboard warning lights, and other problems...that's why the 20" Camaro SS tire size is out of the question for my truck...I'm thinking of installing 235/55R18 tires on 18"x8.0 rims with a +35 offset, which, according to what I've been told, will have zero rubbing against wheel wells and fenders, zero ABS problems, and zero problems with the computer.
