Lowering my 89 Notch?

Top Notch · September 3rd, 2007, 07:12 PM

Hey guys searched but didn't really find anything for our cars. I like the stance of a 5.0. Should i switch to a 5.0 suspension or what? If you guys can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

u want to lower it an inch?

there's tons of stuff for the 2.3

there's a lot of ppl who race with 2.3 engines

you can check out racerwalsh.com, they have a lot of suspension stuff for us

Kinda budget lowering is what im looking for.

you could always just go buy a lowering kit... 5.0L and 2.3L springs are almost the same just the strength is a lil different. or you could always do what alot of people do.. cut your springs..

Go look on stingers site, I think I say some lowering springs for sale there

MSO · September 3rd, 2007, 09:00 PM

well lowering springs are only like $180

that might sound expensive to you tho..

w/e you do, dont cut ur springs

your car will ride like shit and you'll hate it

-cold-machine- · September 3rd, 2007, 10:00 PM

thats not too bad actually.. you would be getting shorter springs
for each corner. so its not to bad. Id go for it..

How much of a drop are you lookin for?

TurboLX · September 4th, 2007, 09:47 AM

5.0 Springs are taller and stiffer

DONT CUT YOUR SPRINGS EVER......you will regret it

look for guys who are selling lowering springs for like $50

MSO · September 4th, 2007, 11:22 AM

yea

my friend got a galant

he cut his springs and OMG

its horrible now

i wont get near it.. he thinks it handles better.. it jus sucks balls

-cold-machine- · September 4th, 2007, 11:24 AM

lol I know a few people that do that to their lil hondas cuz they dont want to spend money on a lowering kit

MSO · September 4th, 2007, 11:25 AM

-cold-machine- · September 4th, 2007, 11:27 AM

if u want to keep the stock springs they make these things that clamp your springs down and it will lower your car,plus you can take them off when u want.

dont do a getto slam

im prolly gunna lower just the front when i get some rims i think the notch would look sick like that espesually if its an lx

-cold-machine- · September 4th, 2007, 04:08 PM

coupes look fn awsome with a slight slant to them from the front to the rear what i wam gonna be doin as well.

MSO · September 4th, 2007, 04:18 PM

u cud jus get bigger rims in the back

-cold-machine- · September 4th, 2007, 04:20 PM
