First Gen Lowering Kit

Does anyone have any Idea what is going on with any of the Group Purchases on here for a lowering kit? I want to lower My whole car not just the front or the back. ALL 4 CORNERS. I've searched the internet and found nothing on 1st gen w-bodies. Everything is for a 97-up.

 

Any help with this would be greatly apprechiated!! Thanx.

I was looking at the Held Motorsports coilovers, front and rear but no one chimed in on it and I duno if anyone is running them so I duno how well they work....

i believe FFP is making front coilovers (not sure if they're for sale yet though)..

 

Id love to get that from them but this has been being said since about '03ish maybe even before

I would think if you used the rear coil over kit you would definately have to get a bigger sway bar too. I'm not sure what would keep the rear end from walking if you took out the rear leaf spring.

$300 isn't bad I Don't think But, $459 isn't good w/ struts because KYB struts are $45 a piece new.

 

Turby was telling me about a Rear Sway Bar for it too. He paid $100 but I don't know where he got it.

actually, a bigger rear sway bar would make it easier for the rear end to walk out (oversteer). i have coilovers in my Cutlass and NO rear sway bar. of course, there is no oversteer to speak of - it has way too much understeer. if i take a hard corner the front tires just plow ahead. the car does have more body roll than i would like but it's not too bad. i did have the Addco rear bar in my Cutlass for about a month but i broke one of the inner hanger brackets (shitty Addco hardware hung the bar up too high). i probably had a little too much oversteer with the Addco bar....maybe a 34mm front bar would have evened things out?
