lowering trans am what would you all suggest to lower a trans am ws6 i mean ijust looking at springs but will it make my trans am ride hard handle better? i guess i'm just asking for direction as to what i should do?
Give sam strano a call.I just got off the phone with his wife,asking the same questions.She was very helpful, and gave me advice on which way to go depending on your riding styles.GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.Took her time and did not pressure me at all.Just told me what I should go with on how I want to use my car.Give them a call.
I've been looking into this myself for the past couple of weeks. How low do you want to go, and how much money are you looking to spend?
I drove a slammed SS about a year ago, and the ride was TERRIBLE!! Y pipe scrapped on everything you could think of, and the car bounced all over the place. Truely horrendus. (sp??)
If you're looking for a small drop for appearance sake, but also would like to get a lower profile for handling, look into getting Koni SA (single adjustable) shocks. They're about $800 bucks, but I hear said they make your car handle like it's on rails, and you can use them to lower your car about an inch.
The front's have a lower spring perch, and the rear you can do what they call the "heater hose mod." Check them out. It might be exactly what you're looking for. I'm going that route myself here this weekend or next.
Good luck man.

, but usually lowering springs are $200-$250 for a set and your probably going to pay roughly $800-$825 + shipping for brand new Koni SAs. In my opinion Koni's + any lowering springs are a sweet setup.
