Mizouse Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Just wanted to post a quick question. How much is a good ammount to lower a Cutlass Supreme to make it look good? By good ammount, I mean how much to make it look sporty, and not like a pavement scraping lowrider. Quote
airbe5car Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 3.5 inches looks good to me, especially with bigger than stock rims Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 is that your car? how exactly would you lower the front 3.5"? joshua Quote
airbe5car Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 the front is lowered 1.8" with Intrax springs and the rear is a custom monoleaf built that lowered the car 3.5" The front just sat lower originally and thats as far as it could go i guess..the rear had alot more space to be lowered so I did it, it looks really good and even.

cutsup1996 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 personally I'd say 1.5"to2", will make a noticable difference in look and handling but not a big compromise for ride, I plan on doing this upgrade this summer Quote
Compufreek Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Where did you get the custom monoleaf from and about how much did it run you? Quote
airbe5car Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Custom monoleaf i got made up in toronto by a spring shop and then installed for $400 (CDN). Quote
Bake82 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Hey airbe5car, Can you post the information about that shop please? I'm from ottawa so it wouldn't be too bad of a trip to save some cash! Thanks Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 The front just sat lower originally Are you kidding me? Every W body i've ever seen, the rear is lower than the front. Even on both of mine. Quote
airbe5car Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 no...the front just couldnt be lowered more b/c of the wheels...there was just more room to lower the rear more than the front... bake82---this is all I could find online about the spring shop, but there is a number and a map for info. They were really good to me, I drove up from ohio and they got me in despite a ton of other work to do. http://on.finditincanada.ca/app/obj?oid=535450&returnTo=%2Fapp%2Fsearch%2Fcat-103321 Quote

joey b Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 shawn your car is sexy. I likes Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Thanks Joey! The 4x4 look has got to go though. Quote
AWeb80 Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 The 4x4 look has got to go though. Damn, that wheel gap is huge, is that stock? Well, what i said before about every w-body being lower in back than in the front, is because thats how many of the cars are around here. Quote

Well, what i said before about every w-body being lower in back than in the front, is because thats how many of the cars are around here. Pretty close to stock. I pulled the aux springs and switched to KYB's so that might have raised it 1/4-1/2", but it still sat like a 4x4 before. 88-89's I've noticed sit a lot taller in the rear than 90+. The 94 convertible does sit lower in the rear. The TGP is pretty even front and rear. Quote
