Lowering the front

good to know tyroelite...are you planning on getting front coilovers if FFP ever comes out with them!!

Absolutely.

So you don't have any complaints about the coilovers? Are they extremely noisy? Comparison to the spring are they louder? I am seriously considering a set this spring for my TGP.. but have read some bad things. Do you have any pics of your car that you can post with FFP's coilovers installed?

I will be using the coilovers with the ADDCO bar, and upgraded trailing arms.

i dont have any complaints at this point. I've had them for about 1 year now. Some people have expressed concern that the sheet metal where the upper mount rests is not strong enough to hold the weight of the car but I have not had any problems with that. The springs/struts are not loud at all. The spring was much louder because of the crack I think. I dont have any pics here of the rear set up but I do somewhere. I know i have one picture at least of the car at a car show where i dropped the back end all the way down and tucked the wheels for a bit but I can't seem to find that one. I'll look for them and post them when i can find them. When I get home next, I'll take some pics without the wheels on in my friends garage and get them up too.

ooooh I like that alot!! holy shit that will make my car look awesome! This car has 245/45's and they look like 15's in the wheel well because they are so short. I am definetely getting myself a set of those in a couple of weeks.

do you drive with the rear that low or only when ur showin off...does it ever bottom out...cause that is loooooww... dude get a shot of your whole car that looks nice!

no... the wheels rub when it is that low... and dropping the back lifts the front up about 6 inches :roll: That was just for the show... and not even during the judging. i usually have it dropped about 1-2 inches from stock since the front isn't that low, it looks funny to go lower but the rear wheels fill out the fender very nicely.

Hey guys, I'm trying to put together a group purchase for Intrax front Monte Carlo springs.

If we order 10, they are $82.50. If we order 5 they are $98.70. Right now we have 5 or 6 sold. So a few more and we get a really good deal.

This price doesn't include shipping however. They will give us a 1.8" drop in the front end. Progressive rated springs and will not be too uncomfortable of a ride.

Please excuse the cross post, but here is the thread on w-body.
