Thread: Want to lower your car? Look in here!!

well bio, you ran eibachs for 50 000 miles... Im planning on keeping the car 2 years, i make 15-20k miles a year. sooo i should be fine.

you'd like to think that, wouldn't you? you should be okay so long as you're not a baby.

if something i will blame it on you.

Hey bio I posted some better pics for you of my 20s with intrax in the wheel and tire section.

Where can you purchase the intrax springs?

ill get on that at some point. at the moment im not going to see much computer this week.

just a suggestion: it might help for people to see the differences in prices of the different springs...if you're feeling saucy.

i dont care about prices and neither should anyone else who is considering lowering their car correctly.

Bio, u got any info on putting bags on a GP?

Nice post Bio, very informative. Wish I had found it before doing as it would have answered a lot of questions.

Can you elaborate in the first couple posts about which combo's should have the bumps trimmed. I didn't find anything with the Vogt's that said to trim and so far don't feel as though it's riding on them.

Also it would be good to add that anti-pogos are front sub frame bushing washers.

the springs usually come with directions that tell you to cut the bump stops or not. that's really why i didnt add it in my post.

as far as the pogo washers, ill update that.

if youre riding on the bump stops then you should cut them.

i dont know. the directions for the spring install should mention it if they want you to cut them.

any thoughts on these?

cheap springs...

im not a fan of 'cheap' suspension components, and i dont mean price.

This doesn't make sense.

W-bodies aren't sub frame cars. The pogo washers engage the bushing on the strut mount more positively.

What subframe? These cars are a unibody... The main rail in the front clip that goes all the way to the front bumper cannot be removed from the car. The washers go in the strut tower, on the strut mount.

A car with a subframe actually has a half frame you can remove and the front end (body) will come off with it.

ClubGP:

There's a link to what they do.

Am I wrong? Someone else chime in if I'm not making sense.
