redneckguy Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 Hey i was wondering what most of you guys use to get the first generation w-bodies lower in the back end (safely) any help appreciated, thanks Quote
Justin Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 That should about do it. Well some people use the unproven coilovers, unproven since the W isn't strengthened at the top of the strut tower to support the car. Others find weaker rear springs, the spring codes are on http://www.wbody.com. Quote

supreme_style21 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 That should about do it. That is just hot. I found my new desktop. Quote
J Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 unproven, but work great, a lil creaking and groaning but it did that with stock components. Jay Quote
redneckguy Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Posted December 11, 2003 so if i do go with coilovers do i just remove the fiberglass leaf all together? and if i weld some posts that go from the frame part to my strut bar will that improve it to help take the weight? Quote
J Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 leaf is gone when the coilovers go in, about the welding i have no clue Quote
redneckguy Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Posted December 11, 2003 would air bags work instead of coilovers? Quote
Justin Posted December 11, 2003 Report Posted December 11, 2003 Either way, airbags or coilovers, you're supporting the car from the same spot. The upper strut mount was not designed to be used to support the car. Have there been any cars that have had the towers ripped out from extra stress? Not that I'm aware of, but let the buyer beware... Quote
