i just bought 1990 gxe,have not yet checked suspension for struts or shocks yet.what options did my vehicle come with.Looking to lower my vehicle atleast 2.5 any suggestions welcome

 

Front=Macpherson Struts, Lower control arm
Back=Chapman Struts, Dual parallel links

How would we know what options you car came with?

 

i meant what brands are available,plus i'm not sure whats on my car,but the previous owner told me that there were stuts up front and shocks in the rear.my whole thing is trying to find out is available for my rear being that i want to lower it.

 

stickies dude........stickies

 

i dont think lowering it 2.5" is possible with aftermarket springs, and cutting stock springs that low may screw something up.

 

I think Sprints are the lowest sprigns for the 3rd gen Max. They give a 2 inch drop IIRC. Any more would not really be streetable.

And dont even think for a second about cutting or heating your springs. Thats a terrible idea and will make the car handle dangerously bad.
