Thoughts on coil spring clamps

[gboogie99]

i was debating putting these on my olds... what are the pros and cons of them?

[RebelGT]

stop,... just... stop.... get an actual spring kit, or just leave it alone.

[gboogie99]

well then, do coilovers work on struts? I found a set for about $50
also, I was told not to cut the springs, but I need to drop the car about 2 inches all the way around. Is there a comaptible spring kit for a 95 ciera?

Anybody?

[RebelGT]

if you cann't afford to do it right, don't do it at all. Do a search, this is a common topic in this forum.

I have a set of springs from a 95 Monte z34 FE3, don't know if they are the same or not, but for 10 buck + shipping they are yours to play with.

[gboogie99]

what is the ride height on them... i am interested in that

[napatiger]

I guess i could measure them, but you could always cut em up the way you like. I just don't know about the seats....if they are similiar to yours. Do yours have the struts in the middle of the springs now?

[gboogie99]

struts in front and shocks in the back

[napatiger]

how is a strut different from a shock? Location?

anybody know if springs from 95 mc will fit a Ciera?

[gboogie99]

they'll fit , but I don't think i'll mess with them. My mechanic calls them "kindey busters" due to their stiffness. It was suggested to get aftermarket springs.


let me think on it for a few...

What the?

And aftermarket springs are supposed to be softer or something?

[gboogie99]

thats what i said too, but its because I can get the aftermarket springs with more drop. 10 bucks + shipping aint bad though. How much to ship to 29732?

[napatiger]

I will be out of town a few days,

when I get back I will get shipping, weight, height, diameter top and bottom.
