lowering springs

[98ultraz]

just wondering on what types of lower springs everyone has??? and how low you go?? cause im thinkin of lowering my car but don't want to go to low to bottom out ever where i was thinkin bout 1.5

Eibach prokit,1.5" drop...of course you can scrape on speedbumps if your careless.

BUt for the most part its all good,go slow over RR tracks and large angles driveways and such and you'll be good.

Park far away from cerbs/parking blocks.....dont wanna bust up the nose man.

The pros out weigh the cons IMO.

did you special order them 1.5 cause i was lookin at that kit n they come 1.2 all the way around or 1.7

[bootleg <5.7 LS1>]

Really? no I didnt special order them,maybe its not 1.5" but none the less,I like the drop I got out of them....I didnt get a n option between 1.2 and 1.7....I just ordered the prokit,whatever it was.

yeah this is what i got: http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe...84261600030629 thats kind of stuipd 1.4 rear 1.6 front

i saw goldline lowering springs... they are 130 for all for n then 40 for shipping off ebay its a buy it now n he has 79 of them are those any good? i just don't like how the springs are yellow..... can u see the springs or no?

[bootleg <5.7 LS1>]

I think they are 2 different sizes,so the car sits level,I think at stock height,the ass sits higher than the front....my car sits level from front to back now.

I was gonna get goldlines,cause they were one of few companys that made them for verts,but eibach said the prokit would work for a vert,but not the sportlines,so I got Eibach,just cause I've heard of them before....never heard of goldline until I did some searching.

I dont know if they are good or not,never knew anyone with them.

I just ordered Edelbrocks camaro/ firebird specific coilovers. You can adust ride height by just turning the nut under the spring. Not sure how much yet, hope to get them fed-ex today.

i am considering between the gold lines n the eibach

Ol Time Rock N Roller On Board

My mechanic, who lowers all kind of GM rides, ordered a set of Hockiss lowering springs for my new 1998 convert. Should go down 2 inches. will be done on Monday.

Almost done with most of my mods, except the front stripes and Real Fire. That will be done the week of July 10th.

Current mods made so far:

new rims, 17 x 9 Chrome Hot Wheels, Model 68

Pacesetter Headers, with y-pipe and Cats, hooked up to the GMMG exhaust system.

Tondeau covers for the back set, getting painted and flamed this weekend, and will be ready for Superfest.

cold air induction and chip mods will be done Monday, then to the dyno on Tuesday.

Here are a couple of pics before lowered, and top painted.

Shaping up to be a nice car dennis. Those 4th gen SS's really need a lowering since they dont have the GFX. My mom's 98 looks like a 4x4.

Gonna have to bring it out to the Ranch sometime when you get the mods done so i can check it out. I bet that car is much more enjoyable to drive around and more reliable the the HOT 80 would have been.



Sidenote: I've been looking around at lowering the GTA. Just gonna cost too much for me to bring myself to it. $225 or so for the springs, $125 for the panhard rod (thinking of making my own?) and then another $50-75 for another alignment (had one done a month ago, damn)

[bootleg <5.7 LS1>]

LOL,you think yours is 4x4,look at my before!! WOW!!
