okay so Im trying to find lowering springs for the tgp and I cant seem to find them anymore. I had Intrax 95-99 monte springs but those I sold 2 years ago not knowing that I would end up with a tgp lol! funny how that works.

and any idea on how much a birchmount would lower?

 

I know I am going to have to sit here and search and read Im just curious as I have a birchmount as it came not installed with the car and whats guys normal use

 

thanks

I have a birchmount leaf and intrax springs on my 92, I think the birchmount lowered it around 2", maybe 2.5" after it settled. I think eibach springs are still available for the front.

I was going to leave it but I have mismatched springs in the front and the left side sags about an inch. thus since the car came with the birchmount Im thinking about swapping it in if I can get lowering springs for the front. i like the way that looks in those pics. Now hows the ride? stiff? noisey??

I used the 3" drop on the rear and trimmed the stock springs till I got the desired ride height for the front. Obviously there are other ways to do this. I have had no ill effects from cutting the front springs. Car rides stiff and handles great.
