whats with all these lowering threads? There is a sticky at the very top of the suspension section dedicated to lowering w-bodies of all generations.

 

Coilovers, get it as low as your tires will let you

Talking to Flex-A-Form isn't common knowledge, and IMO replacing a leaf is easier (and cheaper) than getting a coilover kit.

 

You have to call Flex-A-Form and tell them how much of a drop you want. They'll make you a spring based on what I and other people have ordered from them for this application. I'm very, very pleased with mine.

 

As for the front, I'd try to find some Suspension Techniques springs. IIRC they're labeled for the early 90's Monte Carlo.

I thought the Intrax and Eibachs were discontinued, but Summit lists them for the '95 Monte Carlo. This is news to me, wonder if I could get just the fronts?

 

Not a chance. I've already tried calling them directly to get them to sell me just the fronts, and they simply won't do it.

Good luck getting the ST springs. I had a set on order for 2 months and never got them.

read it again folks!

Lol shit. I guess that is the only option for lowering. Guess we all have to invest in coilovers or we just plain are not doing it right.

I just won a set of brand new Intrax's on ebay.

Care to say how much? Pm me if you want.

 

Like $135 shipped. Guy bought them in a GB we had on here a few years go, never used them.

That ain't bad, but I'm kinda sold on coilovers being adjustable and getting a progressive spring.

I don't remember anyone making coilovers for the front of the car though, and the Intrax springs he was referring to were for the front.
