Been doing alot of searching, not really getting any answers, I want to lower my 95 roadmaster wagon around 2-4 in front and prob 1-2.5 in back, I will be runnin 17 Z06's at all 4 corners, not sure which tires prob 265/40/17, would love to bag it but don't want to spend the money, so it looks like springs and or spindles. Can I use my stock shocks/struts? Anybody have any setups like this, any pics?

THANKS
Mark

Here's a couple pics of mine with sprint springs. It dropped just over 2 in the front and 2.5 in the back. I don't recommend these springs without running in-coil air bags on the back though. The wagon has a lot of weight back there. Stock length shocks are not real good in the rear either. You will want shorter shocks. I run some bilsteins 0929's in the back but they are really too long. I only have about an inch travel :eek: I fell for what people say works but they really shouldn't be on there.

That's a wide range saying you want 2-4" front or 1-205" back. You might want to be more specific. How about handling? Anything else your looking for in a spring besides drop?

I got a 1.5/2 drop with my combo, part of that is probably from the oil shocks. plus another inch from stock due to the lower profile tires. Hotchkis fronts and Moog CC507 Rears. I like the height of the rear springs and their ability to deal with heavier loads but might change out the fronts for some slightly trimmed global wests.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread but, Zugdud, do you have a better side view of the rear wheel well? I am looking to lower my too.
Anyone have belltech? Saw some on ebay for $150.
Are the moogs progressive or linear?

Kinda off topic...

Zug... Is that Rm a Woody Delete Limited?


It looks like limited by the seats.

Did you just take the chrome off and leave the trim holes? I kinda see a hole I think on the tailgate.

What are those ROH wheels right?

For me spaugh's front looks about perfect. (Has to still be everyday roadable for me).

Most set of springs I've seen lower the rear more than the front. Too low for me. I also prefer the old school rake stance.
