rich17 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hello guys, It has been forever since I have been on here. I have a couple of questions for my 96 9C3 Lumina. I have tried searching but still no luck on these specific questions. I want to know if newer 2nd gen lateral links would work on my car? Can I use the adjustable one for all four for more adjustment? Who has the best write up for coil overs? I plan to AutoX more. I have seen write ups for the front sway bar bushings from energy suspensions but has anyone done the rears? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a tad bit longer, you will need to slot the struts so you can get camber set properly. 2- No, they are different lengths, the adjustable one is the longer rear one, and it can't be adjusted down enough to be the right length for up front. 3- Front or rears? Either way, talk to me. Im currently the only one who makes mounts. I can easily make mounts for the rear for your Gen 1.5 4- Simple, you just get the universal sway bar bushings in the right size for the rear. The bracket it comes with just needs the holes drilled out a bit wider for the strut bolts to go through. No big deal really. The inner bracket bushings, no poly bushing options, just new ones from a parts store will do. Edited July 19, 2011 by BXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clearance issues? And can I cut down and rethread the adjustable lateral links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXX Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Then your kinda left with stock stuff. Basically lowering springs (if you can find a set. Not sure who sells them anymore) and some poly front control arm bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
