mra32 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I am trying to figure out the average amount that 1st gen w-bodies are lowered in the front. I guess mainly my concern would be for those with lowering springs as opposed to coilovers, but those with coilovers should chime in too. I neglected to measure the drop on mine Side note but on the same topic: does anyone have a ball joint laying around that they would send me. it can be totally crappy, i just need the mounting surface to be intact for measurements.

CSI_MuNkY Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I honestly don't know how much I am lowered in the front. To begin with my suspension was shot before I went to coil overs. My coil overs are all adjusted so that the B4U over my wheels are each at 26 inches from the road, with half a tank of gas (less likely to notice any difference in height from full to empty). If I ever get to go to a lower profile 245/50 tire, that measurement will go down to 24-25 inches pending any rub issues. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 he has the same set up as i do and i think i lowered mine around 1.75 inches in the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I got CLOSE to 2"......I think w/ the 245 tire on there, I am over 2" drop....body to ground but still only 1.75" body to rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I wanna say with the Intrax's you get a bit more drop. I'll have to measure from the bottom of the fender flare to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
