Hey guys, i have a 1998 TransAm. Sees the track once or twice a year..mostly a daily driver. (has about 110,000 miles)

I have a set of KYB AGX shocks to install (all the way around). But have not gotten to it yet.

Just noticed today that i might have a shot spring in the back as well. So, looks like i may as well put in new springs at the same time. my budget right now is a little tight. So wondering if i should just do the rears? Or would you recommend all four?

I really do not want to lower the car much if at all either.

Advice?

 

Summit sell there brand of springs for pretty cheap...From what ive heard they make good products.

 

why do you think your spring is "shot"?

 

Summit doesn't make those...those are re-branded Eibachs. And there are much better springs out there.

 

Well....my car suddenly is sitting about 1 inch lower on the passenger side rear.

I have not really had a chance to get under it and see what it is, but a mechanic thought it might be the spring.

 

When you do your inspection see if the upper spring isolator is missing on that side. If you do decide top replace your springs we offer a set that lowers your car 1.25" and will work well with your KYB shocks. If you have any questions please give me a call.

 

Spring isolator is fine. Still thinking its the spring.

 

If you want to replace springs, but keep a stock ride height, I know of only 2 ways to do it.

1) Stock springs - go find a junkyard and it'll cost about $2.

2) Coilovers and weight jackers - haven't priced them lately, but you're looking at about $40 per rear weight jacker, $50 per front coilover kit, $50 per spring. So, that's about $400 or so. But, you'll have a 10x better handling car with those stiffer springs (whatever you choose). Plus, you'll be able to corner-weight the car and get it balanced well.
