LuminaPerformance Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 Any word on that lowering flex a form leaf spring? haven't hear anything, about it lately. Quote
GrandPrix34 Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 they are done already. Just go to the website and email the guy. $299 for the spring. If you have any questions, just ask the contact and they will answer it for you. I WILL be getting it soon as my SUSPENSINO pahsse is here. Quote
Jon89le Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 I havent heard anything about this. The last i heard was that they were thinking about making one. How much of a drop is expected? Quote
GrandPrix34 Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 about 2 inches or wat drop you would prefer...they can also have the spring made with a high spring rating if you race alot. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 i myself would still need to see a W-body with this spring installed to verify ride height before i ditch my coilovers. joshua Quote
Heza Posted July 5, 2003 Report Posted July 5, 2003 the spring is done. BUT if you have an ADDCO rear sway bar...you can't install the lowering leaf. atleast, i have noticed i won't be able to on my car. the sway bar will get extremely close to the frame and smash into it on nearly any bump. i will test this though by throwing a bunch of friends into my backseat/trunk to ghetto lower and try. pretty sure with the ADDCO bar though, you can't get the leaf.

LuminaPerformance Posted July 6, 2003 Author Report Posted July 6, 2003 I would like to drop my car about an inch or so front and rear. but i want to even out, can they specifically make one for me like that or is it just 2 inch drop. if it is a 2 inch drop is there a drop for the front for 2 inches.

GrandPrix34 Posted July 6, 2003 Report Posted July 6, 2003 the ST Lowering springs lower the front by 1.5 and in previous email communications i had with the guy from the Flex A Form, he said that ride heigt could come adjusted. Quote

Springs are available to lower the front about 1.5" and that will even out the car since the rear siyts higher than the front in the first place. Check with JCWhitney, Suspension Techniques and other place to find them. You'll have to cross-reference them with 1995 - 1998? Monte Carlo's to get em'. - Erik Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 i myself would still need to see a W-body with this spring installed to verify ride height before i ditch my coilovers.joshua dang i gotta keep that Addco bar. looks like i'm going with the Addco bar, FFP coilovers w/KYB's, and i'm still going to chop 1/4 coil off of my front Eibach springs. they only lowered my car *maybe* .75" but they were designed for a W-body with a DOHC/Auto tho (heavier than what i have). i'm also going from 225/60-16's to 225/55-16's so that should help with the stance i want. i want low and level and the ability to adjust the rear is cool IMO. joshua Quote

DOHCRagtopguy Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I'll agree to disagree based on our two w-bodies. My Olds has the ass-end sag, but the wife's Euro Sedan sits nice and level. I know that the Olds needs struts especially in the back. When I put a couple people in the back it bottoms out and squeaks like hell. I have seen others that are either way. Quote
Jon89le Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I have no clue why but i will agree with you. My GPs front sits about an inch or 2 higher than the rear. Quote
phantomFE3 Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I disagree. i like that car, the back window tint looks like the stuff that was in the back of my car when i got it damn ugly purple window tint!! my gfs camaro has that all around, its so ugly, i love those rims, if anyone has a set with tires on them they want to give me for a decent price i am interested!!! Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 Whatcha talkin' bout Willis? My tint's not purple! SolarGard metallized tint doesn't turn purple. Quote
phantomFE3 Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 o sorry lol, i know the tint that i has was purple, it was uuugly!! how much did your tint cost? ive tried puyin the rolls of tint at like walmart, didnt work out as well as i planned, i ended up tintint the windows of my rooms with it lol, if i get my windows tinted i wanna get them tinted really dark, like as dark as the law allows maybe a bit darker Quote
Heza Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I have no clue why but i will agree with you. My GPs front sits about an inch or 2 higher than the rear. see...i've seen the front higher/rear lower scenario mostly on GPs, but also on a good majority of 2-door Luminas. Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 my ass-end sags too! I don't like it :\ I want it to be either even, or higher than the front Quote
Heza Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 my ass-end sags too! I don't like it :\ I want it to be either even, or higher than the front looks like another agreement to my case! Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 heh, indeed! *points at Heza's sig* autocross, eh? o.o Quote
Redfox340 Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 looks like another agreement to my case! Time to go on the counter-offensive! Suspension: stock @ level terrain Shawn, this one's for you!!! EDIT: Image Removed due to Space. Thanks, Management! - Erik Quote
Jon89le Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 My friends '89 Cutlass is just like that one. Its about an inch or so higher in the rear than the front. Quote
T.R.W. Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 My 94 Z34 lumina sags bad in the rear also, I think it looks gay as hell. I thought the rear was just wore out or something. I'm going to wait to lower the front(and rear) until after I get new wheels and tires so I'll know how much I can lower it and make it look right. I also think the Z34 Luminas sit up way too high to begin with. Mine reminds me of the old Jeep Eagle 4x4 cars(well maybe not quite that high). Quote
