ColesM92GTP Posted Saturday at 04:06 AM Report Posted Saturday at 04:06 AM Looking to get new shocks and coils. Curious if anyone knows of any good aftermarket parts. I haven’t had any luck finding anything. Only for the next gen. If anyone knows some nice compatible coil overs that would be nice too I’d like to lower mine about an inch maybe two. Quote

55trucker Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago aaahhhhhhhhh....so the correct tires are on the car, the 245's already allow the car to sit almost 1" lower than all the other cars fitted with the 225/60's, coilovers you would more than likely have to build yourself, same for the rears, unless you wanted to explore a replacement custom steel multi leaf for the rear. For coils one needs to cut off the lower spring seats (fronts) of the existing struts to allow one to slide the custom coils down into into place along with the lower perch, threaded sleeve & the lock rings etc....these have been done here in the past, a few threads on the procedure with photos. If one is looking for a replacement rear Monroe OE spectrum shock for a Gen 1 one has to purchase the rear struts for the 95-99 Monte Carlo. These shocks have a lower spring seat, it has to be removed from the shock tube to install onto the earlier W cars seeing as it is not required. This spectrum shock is the same basic shock for the 88-96 cars with the transverse leaf spring but THAT shock was discontinued. Quote
