Is it possible for your new lowering springs to make the car sit the same or higher than your old saggy stock springs ? Wanting to get springs and shocks for better stance and handling.. Thanks in advance Kirk
I think that would be a pretty surprising result. I just swapped out the soft stock springs in my Skylark that had been there since 1972. Went with 2" lowering springs and it dropped the car substantially. Even after 46 years, the stock springs were a lot taller than the new lowering springs.
A few years ago I swapped out the orig springs with 1 inch drop springs. They back lowered almost exactly the inch. The front was the same height after the swap . Not that unusual for 40 years of engine weight to sag the front.
Thanks Red67, So my car is a 350 car and I swapped in a 455 about 16yrs ago. I sure would be disappointed if I bought lowering springs to get the stance I wanted just to have it set the same height, although it would handle much better. I guess I could cut coils to get it where I want it..
I ended up cutting mine down to get where I wanted, now several years later Im thinking of going to coil overs
I bought coilovers for the rear but was turned off by the hybrid style front coil overs because people claim it prematurely wears out shocks due to deflection. A true coil over up front is far better but requires frame mods and welding.
