Black90Euro Posted February 28, 2003 Author Report Posted February 28, 2003 it's that good or bad :?: Quote
Guest RedCutlassSL Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 is it good or bad? depends on how firm you want your ride to be. personally, for me, that would be good Quote
Black90Euro Posted February 28, 2003 Author Report Posted February 28, 2003 thanks ... btw: :shock: bullet holes in your car , which is nice 8) Quote
Guest RedCutlassSL Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 those are gone now, except for one which is covering a pick paint chip Quote
ctx46 Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 what you could do is find a early 90's cutty coupe (sedans may have em to, but Im not sure myself) and nab the leaf spring helpers out of the rear end.... Quote
Brian P Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 get a spring from a 88-89 W-car, or at least a stiffer rated newer one. I just replaced my '90 stock for one off a 96 Regal (code RFL) mine was only half as thick and it bottomed out without the "spring helpers" And FYfucking I those arent spring helpers on OEM cars, those things are auxiliary springs that indirectly hold the rear of the car LOWER. MOOG sells a set of spring helpers that mount onto a pair of existing rear crossmember bolts and literally press on the top of the spring, had them on my car for like 2 years and, although the ride gets a little harsh (sometimes bouncy) it never bottomed out with 400 lbs in the back, never even sagged, and cornering was awesome. THat was with NO rear swaybar too Quote
Brian P Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 BTW the spring helpers are part # K6000 look around MOOG Composite Leaf Spring Helper, • Usually ships in 7 - 10 business days. K6000 $98.02 $66.99 Each Quote
RedZMonte Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 look on your trunk lid cover.. the F41 package was not offered untill the 1995+ Monte carlo if i remember correctly. the FE3 was the upgraded suspension for the 1st gen W-bodies.. FE1 is what came on most 1st gen w-bodies. http://www.w-body.com/upgrades/suspension-swaybars.html RedZ Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 An '88-89 W-body with FE3 and NO aux springs sits like a 4x4 in the rear. Super stiff too. Guaranteed no sag if you get one of those! Quote

Guaranteed no sag if you get one of those! if i put all my weight into it, push hard as i can, i MIGHT make it drop down about 1"!! That the '89 of course. and i thought it was just me with a super stiff back end Quote
