Post Your Lowered F-body

[Enthusiast]

Alright guys most of these thread suck. So lets do one right. Post a picture of your lowered Fbody, try not to post a deceiving one like in tall grass etc, side views would be best.


Also post specs, like springs, hose mod, lower perch on konis, tire size (taller than stock tires will have a smaller fender gap), and anything that affects ride height (like 100lbs taken off the nose or something like that).


Lets have a good reference point to look back on.

[biggriff]

heres mine with 1" Eibach rear/ drag bag, still need to lower front, switched to 15" drag set up and removed some rake...

[Enthusiast]

And the springs are?

[jaysz2893]

I used ls1 Eibachs. I trimmed the rears about 3/4 inch off the top coil. No isolators, hose mod. 315/17 in the rear and rolled the lips. Overall drop was about 2 inches front and rear. Full weight car. Will add more pics later. This is only one I had on my phone.

[BLK95-Z]

I didnt lower this myself so I have no idea what drop it is. I think its 1.5" or more

Suspension has since been swapped out with factory replacement (Bilstein Level II) shocks and springs.

[IronOutlaw]

I have the heater hose mod in the back which is low enough for me. Id love to lower my front about 1.5 inches but my Ypipe says no.

[CALL911]

QA1 shocks and springs. I think I am somewhere around 3/4 of an inch lowered. Tires up front are 275/35ZR18's, rears are 305/35ZR18's, 18X9 wheels up front 18X10 wheels on rear (discontinued ROH Drift R wheels).

[nascarnate326]

Just bought a Pro Kit for my car. Cant wait to get them installed.

[ShakerTransAm]

8474 My 95 Formula with DNA Motoring springs (ebay specials). probably aren't the greatest springs but my girlfriend bought them as a christmas present so i figured i'd give them a shot, plus i have to give her credit for actually supporting my car addiction ha. Only have the fronts in now, planning on doing the rears this week so i havent driven it yet with them on. So far i'm happy with the ride height and stance these springs gave it though.

Koni 4/4 w/ stock springs on lower perch front, stock springs/hose mod back. Plenty of clearance for my American Racing headers/catted y (fronts have settled, car is now level):

Ummm...actually, that's my '96 in the background...too many cars, too few garage spots. My neighbor rents me a garage spot for my '76. I have motorized stuff strewn all over the country.



HOT. Info please?

Forgestar F05s, 19X11 & 19X9. This is actually a discontinued model now, but I was able to score a few of the last cores. Tires are supposed to show up today, so I'll have some pics mounted in a few days.

[wysemunky]

I've got Koni 4/3's and BMR springs on the way. How do you like them so far? I'll be sure to take some pics once everything is on.

[02WS6SSZ71]

The Koni shocks are awesome...I've got them on all 4 of my f-bodies. Don't expect it to ride like a Caddy AND corner like crazy though. I'd say ride quality is on par with stock when appropriately set up, but all the lean will be gone from your car...feel free to take curves at twice the suggested speed. You can make the car ride better by going with soft settings, but kinda defeats the purpose of putting on a performance shock.

I went ahead and started at the settings BMR recommended despite my feelings that they were going to be a little too stiff. I think the settings they gave are geared a little too much towards track use for what I'll be using the car for, but I'm going to give them a little bit of time to break in before I make any adjustments. The BMR springs are supposed to be the same rates as the Strano springs, but BMR's recommended settings on the Konis are more agressive that Strano's recommendations.

Absolutely feel free to PM me if you have any questions on settings or install. Definitely no expert, but I've got some experience dealing w/ them obviously.

[02WS6SSZ71]
