Want to lower your car? Look in here!!

What is the frame that the engine and transmission bolt to called then if not a subframe?

Engine cradle?

I'm aware where the washers go, but I'm questioning if you HAVE to purchase them from the vendors instead of ordering a "cradle" washer.

Yes I guess it's a cradle. A nova or a camaro is a "real" subframe car IMO.

So what you're saying is that the vendor-labeled "Anti-pogo washers" are the same washers used where the cradle bolts up to the rest of the frame?
 
diehl, fixed up the first post per your request about the pogo washers. now i have to try and figure out wtf bill was talking about.

any one run a medium drop ( im thinking eibachs) with unmodified ssac or ebay headers. would i have to remove the "u-bend"
 


anyone put springs ssc springs on without changing the struts, my struts were changed less than 40k miles ago and are fine now, id hate to change them again. Also what about rolling fenders on 245 45 17 on ssc's
 
struts should be okay for a little while, but they wont last near as long as stock springs. the rubbing depends more on the wheel specs than the tire. if youre running stock wheels you should be more than okay considering the stock offset is pretty high.
 


google it. youll find them somewhere.

however, i dont know what you should do about the lowering vibration. your best bet would be to get some spacer plates to push everything back up to where its supposed to be. however, it depends on how harsh it is and how old your suspension and motor mounts are.
