rich_e777 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) The mountain of parts is slowly growing. Thread more than warrants a 6-pack. Hows your setup held out over time? Edited December 14, 2012 by rich_e777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Apearantly I did not account for the change for the forum. I mistakenly thought we still had a home page. Lemme change the first post to reflect this with less confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bracohen Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) The link for 1.5 gen Lumina, is that a legitimate seller with a legitimate price? $40 sounds like the guy is sending out knock-offs (shipping is almost $60) or something since elsewhere they are $200+ http://www.ebay.com/itm/ST-Suspensions-1-2-Lowering-Springs-for-95-01-Chevy-Lumina-Monte-Carlo-/281055438503?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item417035a6a7 Can anyone comment on that? EDIT: I emailed the seller and they replied that they are Suspension Techniques and the product is being discontinued hence the low price. I took the plunge, now for some research on shocks I suppose. Edited May 13, 2013 by bracohen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I emailed the seller and they replied that they are Suspension Techniques and the product is being discontinued hence the low price. I took the plunge, now for some research on shocks I suppose. FWIW, my old ST springs had a sticker on the coil that said "suspension techniques." They were garbage anyway. Ditching them for FE3 springs with one coil cut off was the best thing I ever did to that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Powered Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 my guess is the eibachs are thicker wire and stiffer. but both are too low unless you want a scraper. cutting a coil off would be the best ride height like Adam's red car.

19Cutlass94 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Lumina and Monte Carlo are both 1.5Gen cars. Look on the first page of how to lower them. Also do research on what you want and how you want to lower it. Theres probably a million threads here on this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumi Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 bringing back a sleeping thread but if what i have read is correct then i can use the front coils for a 01 monte on my 90 lumina? but would have to buy a kit with front and backs to just use the front?

Also do research on what you want and how you want to lower it. Theres probably a million threads here on this topic. I've read that thread multiple times and spent hours searching and could not find a specific answer I was looking for. I know they are half gen which is why I was confused, I did find the arraut motorsports coilovers that will fit a 1.5 gen http://www.arrautmotorsports.com/parts/w-body.
