Lowering springs

If you need struts, amazon and rockauto have them dirt cheap. I love Kyb struts, their adjustable struts are amazing but expensive.

Rear strut tower brace brackets here:

You can just pick up any w body strut tower bar from the junkyard for the rear bar. I imagine you already have a front brace.

And then gmpp front and rear upgraded sway bars.

Thanks for the links man! What all is required to lower? Just the springs?

No problem man. There for a while I was a w body junkie. I still am, but I had to get back in a 4x4 truck.

Depending on how low you go, under a 2.5" drop should only require the springs, and a set of camber bolts to correct the alignment. Most alignment shops should carry the camber bolts thoug. If you plan on reusing the current struts, I would get the new upper strut mounts since they are prone to rust and failure. Cheap on rockauto and worth it. Shortened dog bones are required, but you already have them. Besides that you may have to roll the fenders a bit if they don't tuck.

Ok yah the drop would be inches or less i dont wana mess with the fenders i just want less wheel gap i might order springs and a rear sway bar soon

Nice looking ride, The stripes look good and Your making me want to do the top swap onto my 01 Monte SS.

But I need to get it out first, LOL!

Mine is lowered 1.5" The shorter dog bone mounts are a must. Also if you develop a vibration, loosen nuts on the bottom trans and motor mounts. The mounts will pull up through the subframe, install some door shims to fill the gap and then tighten the nuts.
