Canada Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 .......you pick out the two biggest rednecks (no offense Kevin, I think you are a very nice guy) on the board and use them as a standard??? It is pretty commonly assumed that if you are asking about an appearance mod and Kevin likes it, you probably shouldn't do it (i.e. - redneck side pipe exhaust) and if Kevin hates it, then you should probably do it and it will look tits (lowering your car) Hahahah......you know, you're right.

GnatGoSplat Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Sometimes I wonder about this forum..........you'd swear you guys are driving Grandma around. No one wants to drive faster than 107 mph......and no one wants their car lowered. While you can go overboard, the factory ride does give you wheel gap big enough so that small children can hide in the rain. Driving over 100 is just stupid... but then I'm 28, practically the old fogie of the forum. I've lowered my car, and I'm still not satisfied. The ass end has too much gap, and I wouldn't object to less gap in the front either. Not to mention I feel like I still have excessive ground clearance. I guess I just want my car to look like something it's not - an expensive European sport-luxury coupe... although just because it's just a cheap ol' domestic isn't going to stop me from trying! .......you pick out the two biggest rednecks (no offense Kevin, I think you are a very nice guy) on the board and use them as a standard???

Face Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Are there adjustment bolts at the ends of the spring? C5's also have transverse leaf springs. They can be lowered by either tightening the end bolts(front end) or loosening bolts(rear end). And if you want more of a drop, you trim the bushings that the bolts go through.

GnatGoSplat Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 No adjustments, it would be nice if it were adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarloChick Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 MonteCarloChick and 93CutlassSupreme don't. I also don't understand the concept of putting on a larger tire......then it looks like the floater trucks that put on lime here in the fall. Plus, a taller tire screws up the speedometer. I'm assuming you have 215/65/15s.......225/60/16s are 0.6" taller. Personally, I would (and I have) opt for the 245/50/16, sure, it is actually shorter than the 15s, but 245s simply look cool on the big ol boat. .......you pick out the two biggest rednecks (no offense Kevin, I think you are a very nice guy) on the board and use them as a standard???

Ummm no... I asked why he wanted it lowered. I'd love to lower mine a little bit since you can fit small children in my wheel gap... And yee fucking haw to the redneck comment....better than being ricey is all I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 that thing looks abnormaly high, might want to replace the struts and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goph Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 that damn thing is up in the air more then some trucks i know. if it wasn't so high up i would say just put a lot of weight in the trunk like a big ass sound system but it is too high. I lowered both of my GPs but just putting my subs in the trunk. about .5" or more each. It was more on my 95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had the aftermarket support like the Civic, or even a lesser import, some of our cars would probably be slammed or on air ride.

sonyman87 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Put gas in it! or a few sandbags in the trunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v0idbmx Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 My got lowered by 4" I think when the rear struts broke through the mounts it was actually pretty swift, except for the little thing of everytime I hit a bump it sounded like a bomb going off in the trunk. The top of the struts were bashing against the rear deck. and I had to spray them withwd-40 or they squeaked like hell.
