Lowering my car.
Thursday, February 16, 2006 11:17 AM
I want to lower my car and I would like to know where did you guys get your car lowered at, for a decent amount of money. (Indianapolis, Greenwood, Anderson, Plainfield area) So far, they wanted to charge me $400 for labor. I've looked everywhere.

Usually it isnt hard to do it yourself. I did my car myself which I know is different from your car mine is a camaro, just dont lower it TOO much like I did I did a 2 inch drop. everythign is out of line and I scape on EVERYTHING everytime I go over a speedbump I always hit my exhaust and cross member and frame.

free done by me. I did it in my garage using a spring compressor you can barrow from advanced auto, uncles jack stands and lift, and a special trip to mechanic to use air-gun for front struts (no other choice)

your best off to do it yourself, but make sure you buy the adjustable camber kit and have a car place do an alignment on it after

i was told i needed the camber kit, it was only like 10 tops from summit racing so i did it just to be safe, better to spend a couple bucks on that then a couple hundred on front tires

Have you bought parts yet? If so, what do you have? Id advise reading the FAQ here first...http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=3&i=50260&t=50260. Theres a lot to read, but basically don't buy no-name coilovers off eBay. And replace your struts man.
Warranty only covers 1.5" max lowering on AGX's and most others. Monroe, GR-2, Tokico HPs are stock replacements, so stay away from those. You're gonna have to shell out a little cash to do it right. If you want to go lower than 1.5" and keep the warranty then Koni Yellows are the way to go because you can adjust while still on the car. Reds have to be removed, of course they dont make these anymore. Ive pretty much given all the info I think lol but go read the FAQ theres a lot more there that might help and if you need anything email me Gearhead2200@aol.com. Good luck. Oh if you're ever on IndyCarz forum tell em SpeedRacer said whats up.

I root for the underdog...figured I might as well be one
