My car needed springs bad 215,000 miles on them i called around summut had a set by Suspension Techniques for 189.00 for all 4 with a 1 inch drop i cant wait to get them its part number
STQ-60115 thogut id let you all know about this and they are made just for 82-92 v6 camaros/firebirds. cant wait to get them and see how my car looks. How hard is it to do springs i have access to a spring compressor.

 

Sweet! Yeah you'll have to let us know how the car looks AND drives after the change! I'm sure my springs are shot to hell by now, too. Rear springs are cake; you raise the back of the up with a hydraulic under the rear axle. Then put jackstands under the rear subframe, just in front of where the rear lower control arms attach to the subframe. Undo the lower shock-to-axle nuts. Start lowering the hydraulic jack. There'll be a point where the shock isn't putting any stress on the lower shock bolts, and the lower shock bolts will just push out of the axle. Lower the axle a bit more, and the springs just come free. Reach up, take 'em down, put the new ones up. Make sure to seat the new spring properly in the top insulator (top insulator comes down with the spring). Make sure too not to lower the axle all the way down- you don't want to hang the lower axle by the brake hose!!

Front springs, yeah, need an internal spring compressor... gotta undo the strut from the spindle. Can't remember if you need to remove the brakes and rotor to get at these bolts. And i think you need to line up the bottom coil so it ends at a drain hole in the lower control arm? Might want to check a Haynes manual, or, ask/search on the Suspension/Chassis board.

And let us know how it goes! I don't think I've heard of anyone using those Suspension Techniques springs yet. (JCWhitney sells 'em too, but with their stupid shipping prices, the more you pay, the more shipping is. I hate that. I could spend $5 on a 100 pound chunk of lead, and only spend $2 to ship it- but if I spent $100 on a computer ship, it'd cost $10 to ship. Go figure.)

 

I cant wait to get them my car was hit last week got it out of the shop today and the guy was nice and repainted the whoe front of my car my front spoiler fenders and hood came out nice just have some minor problems with my turn signal acting up and my front bumper is messed up still so im bring it back tommorw and he will fix it. I figured id get new springs so i dont keep scraping the front spoiler and karl knows how my car bottoms out. Ill take pics when i get it done i should have them november 16. that will give me a good oppertunity to take advantage of my free 6month alignment from sears.

 

I would prefer to drop my car with lowering spindles and do springs in the rear.

 

I have those springs sitting in my basement right now waiting for intstallation. Please let us know how they are. Pics!

 

Good luck finding them cheap....especially considering IIRC the company who made the lowering spindles (Beltech, I believe) discontinued them.
