Default My 1988 Notch project....

My next little project for my notch is to do some suspension work. I'm looking at lowering it but I am new to this. I'm trying to get the front lowered alittle 1-1.5 inches and the rear staying slightly higher.. I like that look. Anyone know of spring kits that do that bc i cannot find any... Thanks

Also any suggestions on rear control arms. I am going to replace bother upper and lower when i do the springs but not sure on good company's to go with. Some say Granatelli, hockiss. or lakewood. Granatelli sounded good with the adjustible lowers... But havent found any reviews on it... Anyone have input.

Wow that was quick... Thanks

Are there springs on the market that lower the front alittle and back back even less to have that kind of a look. Im not trying to lower the whole car i want the nose down but the back stock or alittle less...

Steeda has a combo with both lower and upper rear arms... Thinking about just getting that not a bad price at $299...

Even though the Comp. springs lower the whole car, the rear of the car still sits higher than the front. I put these on mine last week and i love the way it looks now.

Those springs will lower both the front and rear a bit, you could try putting in the front first and see if you like the way it sits and if it's too staggered, then put in the rears.
Those Steeda arms are great, they're adjustable and lightweight. You'll get options for the bushings, get the urethane and not the spherical or delrin, those would drive you nuts on the street.
