xjeffreyx Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Hello everyone, I am searching a leveling kit for my rear suspension. When I drive with my caravan the rear of my car may a little bit higher. I hope someone knows a store where I can get a leveling kit. Forward thanking, Jeffrey Quote
jeremy Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Here is the suspension info for both the front and the rear of your car. I personally would address both. Once again, well start with the front of the car. 1st - Held Motorsports Coilovers You can go with Held Motorsports Coilovers. Yes thats right Coilovers in the front of your W-Body. Held Motorsports' Coilovers can be found HERE: http://heldmotorsports.com/WBody/index_1.5.htm They come in 3 stages, but expect to pay more as the stage increase ( i.e. less for stage 1 and the most for stage 3 ) If you have any questions, e-mail THEM. They are good about getting back to you. I know. Ive e-mailed them several times. 2nd - Suspension Techniques These are Front Lowering Springs. They can be bought through JC Whitney.In other words, HERE: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ProductBrowse/showCustom-0/makeName-Chevrolet/makeId-16/modelName-Monte%20Carlo/modelId-275/year-1995/showAll-1/N-10101+200728464+1995/refId-20004480/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2005865/c-10101/p-2005865/Nty-1/Ntx-mode+matchallpartial/tf-Browse/s-10101?Ntt=suspension%20techniques Part number is 810113.

More information can be found HERE: http://heldmotorsports.com/WBody/index_1.5.htm Just like the fronts ( from Held Motorsports as well ) they come in 3 stages.

xjeffreyx Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Posted September 16, 2007 Hello, Are these all lowering springs? Or do I miss something, because I want to lift up the rear of my Lumina. bye, Jeffrey Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Go to the heldmotorsports website. You will SEE that they are adjustable coilovers, allowing you to RAISE or LOWER the car Quote
jeremy Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 Go to the heldmotorsports website. You will SEE that they are adjustable coilovers, allowing you to RAISE or LOWER the car yup....I honestly still don't see anything in your first post about raising your car, all I see is that "the rear of your car may be a little bit higher", so I took it as you are looking to lower...... but the coilovers will indeed allow you to raise the rear if that is what you want to do.

slick Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 You guys should probably give him a break a bit, he is from the Netherlands. English definately isn't his first language. Quote

Hello, sorry for my bad English. That is what I want to do, raise my car. Only the rear suspension. Can someone explain me how coilovers work. And how the adjusting from a coilover work? tnx, Jeffrey Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Coilovers work like this: You have a sleeve that is threaded. You have an adjuster nut that threads onto that sleeve. By raising or lowering that adjuster nut, that will raise or lower the car. Quote

Jay's explanation of coilovers is pretty self explanitory but if you do have more questions, please ask Quote

Andrew Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 i just came accross a solution for you. http://www.wbodystore.com/grandprix/rear-heightening-springs-pair-p-195.html Quote
pwmin Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 i think some people use GTO spring blockers on their 2nd gens, which would raise it up a little. not for sure they would fit, though as im not sure exactly what they look like. Quote
Andrew Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 yeah i was also thinking he could use some coil spacers to lift it up a bit, but those decrease ride quality. Quote
Andrew Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 wait.... those springs are for 2nd gens. do they fit 1.5 gens?? i cant remember if 1.5 gens are still monoleaf or not. anyway, maybe these will work for you. they dont raise the car, but they do increase load capacity. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-VehicleBrowse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2005874/p-2005874/N-111+1997+200728461+600003409/c-10101 Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 The 1.5gen is not monoleaf... Its a spring on each strut Quote
xjeffreyx Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Posted September 30, 2007 Hello, tnx to all for searching bye, Jeffrey Quote
