Hi everybody,
I'm from Italy and I have a 88 firebird with a Chevy 307 bored to a 327 and a TH350 transmission from my rusty 82 trans am and I'm running 26 tires at the front and 27 at the back. I'd like to use also the suspension that I bought years ago for the TA. I have a set of Monroe shocks, a set of Eibach Pro kit springs (1" lowered front and back), rear tubular arms and fixed stock length tubular panhard bar, all new. Now, my wish is to have the car a little raked and I'd like to use the stock length panhard bar so I was thinking about buying a pair of 1" billet aluminum spacers for the rear springs. What do you think, is it a good idea for maintaining the stock ride height while using the pro kit rear springs and the fixed panhard bar? I need your help because these cars are very rare to see in my country and especially in my town so I have anybody to ask. Thank you!

 

Your grammar is better than most Americans.

Try the rear springs from your '82 and see if you like the look before you spend money. Most people here in the USA would not want to create a noticeable rake.

 

Thank you I'm in love with the States since ever! I started learning English since I was 4

Do you mean using the stock '82 TA springs just for checking the look and then put the eibach's with the spacers if I like it? Or using the stock springs definitively with the lowered eibach's in the front?

 

An additional option is to use the rear spring isolators from the '98-02 Trans Am. They are about an inch thicker than the isolators that came with the thirdgens.

 

What about LT1 cars? There is one being parted out as we speak.

Its rubber so I'd go with a new one instead of a twenty year old one.

 

So using a 4th gen isolator or a 1" aluminum spacer will be the same result? Since I'm in Italy, the shipping costs make the spacers cheaper than a used pair of isolators

Thanks a lot for the replies!!
