lower car
!! .. I think it can be done in dreams !! .. or with a person weight about 400 pounds in the front and another one weight 279 pounds in the rear !! ..
Any way I'm using Eibach Pro-kit 1.2" front 1.2" from Byunspeed for 209$ only

Buy koni adjustable shocks and and do the heater hose /lower perch.That's stupid to say that you have problems with the heater hose mods.I have done it to my t/a and have driven it 30 thousand miles with no problems.My buddie did the same thing and also had great results.I learned about the hose mod from Sam Strano and he is the man for suspension mods.That's bullshit to say you have problems with the hose mod.

Eibach Sportlines tend to be one of the least desirable springs for these cars. If I may be blunt. I know the urge to mod these cars can be irresistible at a minimum, but most, if not always, it is best to save up some money and do it right the first time. Just my $0.02

!!! ..
BMR , KONI , Eibach .... etc have engineers doing their tests for months to produce springs that can handle our cars correctly for performance , comfortable ride , road race or drag race ..
After all of that , you come with your heater and doing it without any base !! and saying about the others stupid !! .. really I'm surprise to see some ideas here like that !!
The guy above is right about eibach being junk.They are the least desireable of the springs you can buy.Strano are the best lowering springs.My point was to say that the heater hose mod koni thing came from Strano and he is the suspension expert to say the least.He knows these cars suspension better than anyone.You will get different opinions if you ask enough people.Do it right and do it once.You get what you pay for.So do you think that Strano doesn't know his stuff ??Everyone I have ever talked to that has done the mod has had good results.

But seriously the sportlines are arguably the worst springs for our cars. They leave you literally riding the bump stops in the rears due to spring sag, and don't have near enough spring rate for the drop they provide (which means you will be hitting the bumps stops more often and harder than you should be).

When they make the Prokit (which is advertised to be a higher ride height) this close to the bumpstops:
then decide to make a spring that is lower than that, it should be a red flag for a mistake, especially considering the spring rates are less than the prokit.
Nothing wrong with the heater hose mod. All it does is basically use a smaller isolator than stock. Also the stock spring rates aren't terrible if matched with good shocks like Bils or Koni. The Koni's front shocks on the lower perch and the hose mod in the rear lowers about .5" all around. Also koni shocks on stock springs is better than many other shocks with aftermarket springs for handling perposes. Also, as has been said, that eibach set is not even close to the best option for springs... in fact it's aweful.

[QUOTE=Major_Lee_Slow;11622682]This idea is NOT endorsed by LS1tech.
Haha.... yea I didnt think it would be. I am not even certain that I am endorsing it. It is just one of many options and the op did want options excluding cutting and buying springs.
I did it when I was a broke *** and first bought the car... obviously didnt do anything for the handling but it didnt hurt it either. Gave me the look I wanted. Buying lowering springs would obviously be the ideal way to go about it.

well then ill just have to save up some cash and do i right... the only reason i posted up about those springs cause they are cheap and the guy is like 50 years old and cant deal with the car that low, the reason for him to sale...
and how bad is it really to just heat them up and let gravity do the work??? a few guys from my work did it to there cars and they say they havent had any problems with doing it..

I had to add that although I didnt have any problems... I know others who did. Whether they went overboard or I was just lucky (or good... HA) who knows....
