thanks drunkie. ill just do the spacers.
shorter dogbones will also destroy the motor mounts faster.
Great information on here!! I have a 2004 grand prix gt and I really want to install lowering springs. I have 19inch rims with 1inch spacers and I am afraid of rubbing issues. Also I live in Michigan and like to put on snow tires in the winter which have 1.5 inch spacers for just the front wheels. Does anyone have some advice to help me properly and safely lower my car!! Thanks

Has anyone bought these springs from the Wbodystore?
W Body Store
They don't seem to have a brand name.
I cannot find any pictures on the web either.

I have a question about lowering the car and the cars' turning radius. My stock setup (wheels/tires) were 225/60/16's. I upgraded to 235/40/19's, keeping some meat under me and the combo overall diameter the same. What's the lowest I can still effectively lower the car without hindrance?
wbs is SSC springs
you can go all the way to the ground, but its going to take modifying the fenders and running weird alignment settings.Quote:

I saved up my money and i think i've decided on the held coilovers, but ive been thinking on maybe going with heavier springs than what are default i guess. do you guys have any suggestions or advice about that or maybe how heavy i should go? and also does anyone know if its cheaper to buy from held or zzp? maybe zzp has a coupon code right now?
Thanks
ZZP sells Held coilovers IIRC
no, dont get them off zzp. buy directly from held.
^^^ that.
dont give ZZP your money when they don't even build them.
Alright thanks. And what about going with different weight springs? I want it to be pretty stiff and i want to go pretty low so i was thinking that might help bottoming out issues a little bit
The spring rates are pretty good as is. You don't need any stiffer, really.
hopefully when i take my car out from storage i will install coilovers, is it possible o be able to tuck my bullits? 36+ offset? i got 235-55-17 now and hopefully later 245/45/17
Depends how much work you want to do..
Anybody have any experience with the Intense coilovers?
pretty much the same thing as the held/zzp ones.
all of the sets available are modded struts with sleeves and potentially a pillow ball upper mount. building them yourself would be easily under $500, but most people dont understand how simple it really is.
no, intense coilovers use stock mounts and bump stops.
not a fan.
stock mounts arent bad when you consider the bearings used in the pillow ball mounts.
