Installed lowering springs on my sons GTA - HELP !!
 

Like the title reads, we install a set of lowering springs on my sons 87 GTA this weekend and it came out looking like crap ! :mad:

The springs were 1.75 drop all the way around and the result..... the front tire to fender gap went from about 4" to next-to-nothing ! And the rear didn't even change.

Except for the shocks, I've rebuilt the entire front suspension and installed new bushings on the rear swaybar.

Any ideas ??

did you install the front and rear springs on the wrong end? ie, fronts in rear and rears up front?

nope, there's no confusing that. :lol:

I just spoke with the spring manufacturer.... they sent me the wrong front springs. They'll be sending me another set, hopefully.

What about the rears? You say they are the same as stock? Maybe you need to drive around a bit and have them settle in.

If you installed the eibach pro kit in the rear, they don't drop the rear a bit, if your old springs are sagged they may even raise the car. For the fronts, did you install the isolator? You could order a thicker urethane one if needed. They are commonly sold for mustangs, i have used them on other cars with good results.
