Lowering an L-body

[87GLHS465]

Im going to lower my 86 GLH (have thought about my 87 GLHS, but probably will leave it alone).

anway, I dont want to hammer it, I just want it to sit about 1" or so, lower... so what is the best way to go about this?

thanks,

clay

u can buy the mopar 1inch lowering springs or eibach spings for them,and if u want to go all out get a set of koni with ajustable coil overs.i have the mopar 1inch with 17's.it looks good i think but i have some koni's that i am having done for the coilovers.here is a pic of my car.

I don't think Eibach makes any springs that will fit L-bodies. Get a set of springs from FWD Performance. I have a combo of LRE and MP lowering springs on mine. I like!

I have the -1" LRE springs on my GLHt and I love them. It the perfect drop for the car, looks great sitting above my Azenis. I put Konis on it at the same time and that little box handles like gangbusters (when it runs).

Sergio, do you have some pics of your avatar, I mean, umm, your car? Seriously though, of your car?

i'm broke and i was gonna get some of those spring clamp things from autozone. anybody see any reason why i shouldn't, just until i get new shock of course.

If you're gonna redneck it spring clamps will work.... most you'll need a spring compressor to get started though as the bolts generally aren't long enough for the front. I'm also a big fan of cutting the springs while you wait for a proper spring to be shipped.

Both are pretty backyard methods and can sometimes give unpredictible results.. but if all you want is the look while you wait to get the real deal then they work.

I like the coil over method the best - I can make the car low as I want or rise it up to look stock too
