lowering springs for a 95 gt vert

[xs man 27]

hey guys i was wondering what springs you guys with sn95 verts use ? if anyone knows what brands give how much drop would be great. and if anyone got pics with what springs and tires and wheels size would be awesome.. thanks again

can't go wrong with H&R SuperSports, they look awesome. Feel free to check out the lowering spring database, all the info you want should be in there.

Sorry for the ignorance, what are ISOs?

 

[5litrarag]

Isos = isolators

 

[BigBore96]

^ that. However, if that doesn't help. They are basically a rubber type insulator that is put on the top and bottom of the spring to help with seating them and with noice reduction. If you've ever looked at your stock springs and noticed it was wrapped in a black rubber piece then you have noticed the stock ISO's.

Looks great but in my opinion too low for a driver

I have the Eibach pro-kit on poly iso's

 

[Tony]

too low for a driver? as apposed to a pusher? lol. too low, pshhh i could drive over top of my other stance.

Just a heads up that the Pro kit IMO leaves alot of drop to be desired!

Like I said, just too low for me. As it is I scrape the lip going into my garage with 4 people in the car and that is hardly any angle at all.

I've dropped cars down before to the point where I had to swerve every manhole cover or else here the scrape plus couldn't run my fronts to full lock anymore and just not into that anymore. This is why airbags and coilovers are the way to go, lower it down for shows or pics then raise it back up for regular driving.

I've got some CJPP Sport Springs from my 2000 v6 that I'm dropping in here shortly. They're the same stance as the Eibach Sportlines, which leaves you about 3 fingers of spacing between the wheel and the fender. They did mention that it might drop the back a little lower, but I have no clue what it will do yet.

H&R Race springs for me.

thank you guys for all the input, much app. what springs give the lowest drop for a 95 vert ? no coilovers just lowering springs i m looking for. also another question i have is my car currently has lowering springs from previous owner i m not sure what ones but i m guessing eibach bc its a slight drop and not that low, ( when i take apart the wheels i will look to see the brand ) currently the car has 275 40 17 tires all around, i wanna do 18" staggered 285 or 295 35 18 tires in rear and 265 35 or 40 18 tires in front. if i ditch the 17's and get the 18's will my car with the 18's appear to make the car look lower or will it make it look like a monster truck raised ? thanks again guys..

larger wheel and tire will close a little gap but lift ya a tad too. what your talkin about shouldnt be that noticeable though as far as lifting

 

[xs man 27]

does anyone know if i take out the iso how much lower it drops your car if anything noticable at all ? thanks

 

[Tony]

1/4" or so. just a tiny bit noticeable.

 

[joekd]

Removing the ISOs is also just asking for noise, another reason I replaced them with poly ones instead of taking them out

 

[Tony]

^i hear nothing.
