Sagging and more! Hey guys, I'm a new poster but not a new reader.
I've asked this on other message boards and have not really gotten an answer.
My 1999 Trans am with 54k miles on it sags on the right side about a 1/2 inch on the back and about 3/8 inch on the front. No, the chicks i date are over 120lbs or so, so that's ruled out (haha). Here is what I have done so far to try to aleviate this problem:
this is all about 10k ago:
- Installed SLP Take off Springs and deCarbon shocks on the front.
- The left side rear shock was busted a little while after that (oil was leaking out) so I replaced those with KYB Gas-a-just shocks
The only stock thing left on the car is the rear springs as far as shocks/springs go
I got this car used, so I have no idea what had happend to it before 34k. The gaps between the lights n stuff is a little looser looking on the left side as well which would make me think it was R&Red, but the factory welds n such are all in place.
Does anyone know what to do!?? I just need to know what it is so I can finally get the job done right. It sucks when you do thru all of that work and the same problem persists.
Also, I don't have a whole lot of money, but I was wondering which springs you guys would suggest. I'm not looking for a huge drop, but a small 1/2 - 1 inch drop is something that i'm looking for. I'll probably end up getting the KYB adjustable shocks for the front when i do my springs.
