Lowering springs

[southpaw2_4]

Where the heck do i get lowering springs for my 1995 Grand Prix GTP?

[19Cutlass94]

Best bet is intrax springs from a fellow member that is selling or doesnt want them.

[19Cutlass94]

You can get them here. Better act quick before someelse takes them!

They are mean't for a 95-99 Monte Carlo. They are the same front springs as our cars.

 

There are already a couple of people interested in those particular springs for sure.

[southpaw2_4]

so a '95-'99 montecarlo has the same setup as our cars? therefore we can get lowering springs from them? Will i need to replace my struts or can i just get the springs and put them in?

 

I am kind of looking for a complete set because the car will look silly just lowering the front

only the '95-'99 Monte Carlo front springs will work on your car. for the rear you can get adjustable coilovers (FFP or Held Motorsports) or a lowering leaf spring (FAF or Birchmount).

[southpaw2_4]

so basically our older cars are scrwed. We can't just buy new lowering springs like the 97 and newer cars we have to go with coil overs and stuff?

[GOT2B GM]

for the front you can buy Intrax or Suspension Techniques (discontinued)

 

for the back you can buy FFP coilovers, Birchmount metal leaf, Flexaform fiberglass leaf, or put a big stereo in your trunk

[southpaw2_4]

Ohh is intrax the old suspension techniques? Are you talking about leaf springs for the rear?

They are different springs all together, Intrax is a progressive rate spring while ST is just a regular spring.

 

Yes, the Birchmount and FAF are leaf springs for the rear, they replace the stock factory fiberglass leaf spring.

wow i didn't know my '95 GTP came with leaf springs in the rear

[intern8tion9l]

not leaf springs....leaf SPRING. it still has struts in the back too

Just wanted to add that "Transverse" means that the component is mounted "East-West" (left to right) as opposed to "Longitudinal" ("North-South" or front to back.) Monoleaf means single leaf, so a Transverse Monoleaf literally means a single leaf spring sitting in a left to right configuration.

 

Take a peek underneath the rear of your car and you'll get the picture...

[southpaw2_4]

i tried looking for it and maybe i am just blind...where abouts in the rear is it? anyone got a pic pointing to it?

[intern8tion9l]

cripes
