Lowering springs

Alexander III · March 23rd, 2011, 09:29 AM

Bounce: Imagine driving an old caddy and you hit a bump. The up and down feeling after the bump is bounce. This is caused by your shocks not having enough/ the proper dampening and travel range to absorb the energy.

I completely agree with 6er, look into a nice set of shocks and struts before you go looking for new springs.

I talked to my brother the other day it has brand new shocks and struts.

Cheap ones from oreillys when i put them on the key for the locks rounded off so i'm missing one for every rim. Also when i took the tires off the other day to do my ball joint and put new tires on the chrome cap came off some of them. i'm never buying lugs from oreillys ever again.

I dont think its possible for me to go that low without redoing my exhaust. lol

Im going to remove the rear isolators and see what happens.

Yeah i hate it that low. Can't pull into a car was straight, can't go across speed bumps at school. It sucks sometimes and sometimes its cool. I plan on getting stock springs from junk yard and lowering it back. The max i can take off springs and keep it ride smooth. Think he said 1.25 off rear and 1 off front never take anymore. if i remember correctly.
