i put some bilsteins on my car, along with sportlines, and it does not sit near as low as i would like. It sucks ***** and i knew it was going to happen.

The shocks have nothing to do with the ride height. And if you didn't have Sportlines before, then what you had was either junk or some other set of springs that was slammed because Sportlines are a lot, lot lower than stock.

Yeah sportlines sit LOW! I had them on my car. My car rode like a damn Bradley tank. They look good no doubt, but they ride like ****.

what is in my sig. is just cut, stock springs, yes junk.
I put on bilsteins and sportlines and it sits higher than my pro kit or intrax springs did on stock shocks, so i was just assuming the much better shocks had something to do with it, although yes i know it didnt make sense.

This thread doesn't make any sense

eh, it does.
Well, the point is for some reason my sportlines appear much higher than other people that run them, and i am not happy about it as i like a very low car.

No...it really doesn't make sense. Shocks have nothing to do with ride height, PERIOD. Time to go back to the drawing board and find the real cause of your disgust that your car isn't dragging the ground as you desire.

i always assumed that, and sam already told me as well. I just dont know the explanation for why my car sits high even with sportlines. No need to make fun of me as i bet your car is lowered too and there is a good chance that it has a lower stance than mine does right now.

put this one in the ignore category. someone who is willing to make their car junk because they think it "looks cool".

Did you seat your springs correctly when you installed them?

Was their anything wrong with your previous springs?

what the hell is this guy talking about?
my goal was to make my car have a better ride???

zach_ws6

iTrader: (3)

yes, the springs are in correct. i have lowered lots of f bodies, i just assumed the sportlines were the lowest springs offered, but apparently not, as my intrax springs made the car sit lower.

I can assure you, my car does NOT sit that low. It is lowered, but only ~1.2" lower than stock (Strano's lowering springs).

Start listing your mods, including the free ones. Have you done a lot of weight reduction? That will drive the ride height up. Different rear axle (like a 12-bolt or 9")? That can raise it up too.

I've always been under the impression that Intrax springs were even lower than Eibach Sportlines, but I've never looked at the specs in detail.

10 bolt, but i was mainly more concerned with the front as i generally would prefer the front to sit slightly lower than the rear.
My hood is very light, thats about it.
Its alright man, i appreciate the help but its my own little problem just b/c i am picky about ride height.
Don't get me wrong, it is obvious that it is lowered, and the ride quality is so much better than before (majorly cut springs, stock shocks).

You can always try adjustable coil overs in the front - it would let you slam it as low as you could ever want. Granted, that's more money, but the option exists.

Are you using new bumpstops up front, or the ones that were on there with factory shocks?
Is your front alignment(camber) set about the same as before with the cut springs setup?

i disagree with everyone that says the sport lines are a downgrade and that they just make your car ride like ****. my car has sport lines, and it rides substantially better than it did with the stock springs, and i sure as hell don't think it rides like ****.
