Looking for a pic of a car with stock springs and Koni's set on the lower perch up front and with the isolators (rubber boots) removed...... Anyone?

Did you do the Hose mod on the rears. If not that will take care of the ride height.

yea i was gonna do that this summer but then my insurance changed and had to sell the car

would I be hijacking if I asked a dumb question (considering im a newb to everything having to do with suspension) or should I start a new thread?

If the question is pertinent to the thread, go ahead and ask.

I just did this...........i will get some picks. The front dropped 3/4" the rear about 1"

Ok well Im plannin on a set of 18x9.5 F and 18x10.5 R real soon. I want to lower the car too, but being that I am gettin rims 2" larger in diameter than I have now, would that effect how much I would be able to lower the car?

Also, what all is necessary to lower a car and what do you recomend? Would I be ok with just springs, or would a panhard rod and shocks have to be done too?

J. Brown

honestly..........don't waste your money on just springs, if anything spend the money on Koni's and use the original springs if you are installing larger wheels. Doing just lowering springs with factory shocks is a waste of money, you won't be happy. Your nice car will ride like a horse drawn buggy.........

what are koni's? and will that still lower my car?

I agree. From what I've read and heard, Koni shocks are a great upgrade. Mine are coming in any day now. If you want to get it to sit lower, remove the rear isolator and set the front on the lower perch. Check this out:https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/479860-koni-s-stock-springs.html

Koni SA's with factory springs set to the lower spring perch on the front and hose mod on rear factory springs. 3/4" lower than stock.

Looks great, J. Thanks for the pics.

One way to lower the front without changins the springs or shocks is to put an iron block in it

Italiano99

can I do the lower spring perch on the front and hose mod on rear factory springs alone w/o the koni's? (Runnin low on my budget)

Marc '99T/A

I think Koni's are the only shocks with the lower perch option up front, but you can do the hose mod with any rear springs.

Italiano99

so basicaly I can't lower my entire car unless I spend some dough?

Marc '99T/A

You could do just the rear hose mod, but I think that's about it.
