thatcutteeboy Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 Is there any way to lift the rear of a 93 vert? Quote
Andrew Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 1 - get a custom Birchmount rear leaf to replace your stocker. 2 - convert to rear coilovers. both of which are covered on this forum. search around. Quote
jake91 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 i dont know if it would work or not or if its even a good idea. but could you put a shim of some sort where the leaf conects to give it a bit of lift Quote
cutty Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 lift as in lift the tires off the ground to take them off? Quote

Ken you have pictures of these installed? I have to install new tip pads on a monoleaf I got lying around for my new lumina that is missing both sides. Noisy as hell! Quote
rockfangd Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 my cutlass rose nearly 2 to 3 inches when i installed my new monoleaf isolator pads. first set i installed incorrectly but ever since i have had no problems Quote
xtremerevolution Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 how does a car rise 2-3" using pads that are less than 1" thick? Quote
4door Intl Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Obviously when you install 'em on their side! LOL Quote

xtremerevolution Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 This might be a good time to mention that i'm making my own leaf end pads out of commercial floor tile and epoxy. Surprisingly hard yet flexible. I can have the ride height I want based on how many strips I use. Ghetto yes, but for $0.59 a tile? Quote
4door Intl Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 I can beat that ghetto fix. When my Cutlass tossed the left square urinal puck-looking end block i just took a piece of wood of the same thickness, cut it into a square, and...here's where my ghetto award comes into play: i stapled strips of cut bicycle innertube to both the top and bottom sides so it wouldn't wiggle out and fly away. It's lasted with nary a budge for months. Quote

White93z34 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 or NAPA sells brand new glue on rubber ends. I'll probably pull my leaf again next year, and change the pucks out for the rubber ends. the rear of my car sits just a bit too high now for my likings. Quote
