Re: Lowering Kit (CaliforniaVette)
It's either that or coil-overs. Tons of forum members have that kit on their car.
Go here:

Mine has dropped even more since I put that kit in. Maybe it's spring sag, I dunno.. :smash:

Re: Lowering Kit (CaliforniaVette)
Yeah, I have the Mid-Am kit.
The longer bolts they give you for the back really weren't long enough on my car. All they did was level the back up with the front. I never put the wedges on since I'd be right back where I was before with the tail sticking up in the air.
To use the front wedges, I'd have to switch the rear spring spacers to the other side of the spring at least.
But that's my car. If your ride doesn't have springs with 120K miles on them, it might respond better to the kit.
Whenever you do ANY modifcation with lowering, you'll have to get your car realigned.
