    Hello fellow Pontiac owners. I was a big import guy before owning a 2006 Grand Prix. I am trying to find a place that sells lowering springs with at least a 3" drop. I cannot find anything anywhere and it's getting pretty frustrating. Someone please take my money.

    Thanks in advance.

    No company makes springs that drop that much.

    1.5-1.8in drop is the maximum drop you'll find with springs. Like the above post, only coilovers will drop the car that low.

    And you'll want motor mount spacers if you drop that low and even then, at a 3in drop that is still so low that you will likely get axle vibrations. 2in drop is good enough to take away all wheel gap.

    DNA front springs will drop that low at least. Rear spring will need a coil cut to do the same. And they are pretty stiff springs too.

    SSC springs or canuck motor sports springs (same people) sell lowering springs with a 1.5-1.8in drop.

    Give it time to fully settle is the key, you never get the full drop right away.
