Want to lower your car? Look in here!!

i have a feeling its the motor mounts or something or dog bones, because i had 3 different mechanics check out the axels and such, and they told me everything was fine
 


I was looking on eBay for lowering springs. I found numerous new brands I have never seen before like DropZone for $85.95 + $19.98 for shipping.

I also found Lowering Springs sold by ProAutoLuxury for $55.00 + $35.00 shipping.

Anyone heard of any of these ?
 
buy some and tell us how they are, but they sound too cheap to be true. id hate to get a bunk set of springs and **** up my car.
 
i saw speed daddy springs for our car and was wondering if anyone used them? theyre like 100 bucks, i know some people bought their headers and were happy with them.
 
Has anyone tried any of the HT motorsports coilover kits? im curious if the stage one kit where im guessing you can build the coilovers is decent and if that would be cheaper assuming i could find some axg's used or something
 


The HT coilovers are something like $1300 I believe. You can build a set for less than that, there are a few writeups floating around on doing it yourself.
 
seen people run them. wouldnt put them on my car, but do whatever you want.

BUY CHEAP EBAY SPRINGS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
 
i heard alot about eibach having the rear sag abit,
what is better for a having a straight car with the lowest drop?

eibach or B&G?
 


eibach have two revisions of springs. the first generation had the butt sag problems. the second generation which you will get if you buy them do not have that problem.

B&G ive seen sit pretty level as much as i can tell.
 
Shorter Dog Bones: If someone is going that route, look up Rockauto: Anchor 2899. Those are montana dogbones, which is what everyone is selling as the shorter dogbones. Way cheaper than most sellers.
 
so miri what your saying is that if we get the Pontiac MONTANA dog bones it does the same thing as shorter dog bones that every one is selling?
 
i apolagize if this has already been asked in here. bu im not reading through all 6 pages to find nothing

about anti pogo washers and motor mount spacers, are these a take it as it comes type deal when lowering, or are they more of a necessity?

to put it more frankly, i plan in lowering ( "medium drop" if it matters). should i buy them and install them with the springs or should i just wait and decide if i need them after i drive around a bit?

thanks in advance guys
 


well you should put the spacers at the same time or you will have major vibration coming from the axels
 
silva, from my understanding, the pogo washers are more of the taste preference, they stop the car from bouncing after hitting bumps. the motor and trans mount spacers are what's gonna keep you from toasting axles and other drivetrain components, more of a necessity. im sure nick will clarify when he finds this

with the stock washers the struts dont engage for a short distance.

adding those removes the delay until the struts engage.

THey're just subframe washers.

you can get them for teh cheap from yards if the cars are in the air.

or be lazy.
 
alright so ill grab the mount spacers ahead of time and throw them in with the springs/ struts.

hows the install on the pogo washers? would i have to take off the struts, or is the work secluded to the mounts under the hood? if id have to take off the stuts again ill just throw them in right away. save my lazy ass from another hour or two of work lol.

..and also if you guys know where to buy the spacers id appreciate a link
