RALM Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm wondering what would be the best setup buying parts individually and build my own coil-overs. Looking for about 2" as that's about where my rear sagged to during our big ice storm in april. I plan on changing the leaf rears to coil-overs eventually but for now I think the leaf should hold up. Just trying to get opinions for the best setup for that drop (preferably with links) and a ball park estimate on how much it would be cost wise for fronts and converting rears. And if anyone has a dumbed down write-up on installing fronts and/or converting rears that'd be great because I went into bodywork for a reason, lol I don't know shit about mechanical/suspension, just how to make the outside look pretty and align tires/aim headlamps lol.

Psych0matt Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have a thread about what I did, but if you click the link in my sig it'll direct you to my list of mods, including suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 There is a sticky at the top if the page, with several pages of information, as well as a search engine that works that can provide more information than you'll need about lowering your car.

gpchris Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Make sure you get progressive rate springs or shorter struts so you don't have any spring free play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RALM Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yea i have a hard time deciphering stickies from posts in tapatalk sometimes. Matt: i believe i actually stumbled across your thread when i first started looking into lowering it a while back.... then my transmission went out and it was put onto the back burner until the ice storm showed me no wheel gap in the rear lol now the trans is getting ready to be rebuilt finally after one full year (august 25th 2012) and i will be able to finally cruise again cept now i wanna cruise in style lol RALM Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
