New Suspension FINALLY installed!

Bilstein 1104/0929
H&R Springs
ZQ8's

Before
Front: 28 3/4"
Back: 20 1/2"

After
Front: 27 3/4"
Back: 19 1/4"

Rides like a dream. Levels out immediately after a bump. Not harsh at all. Corners amazingly!

Looks great! Now you just need a new center cap there.

Niiiice!

Now you gotta update your Sig with the 1st pic!

Done!

Wow, just a 1" drop looks very nice. EDIT - I can't read somtimes!!!

I have often contemplated putting stiffer springs on the wagon. My 9C1 has stock springs and 1104/929s and bumps never "surprise" it. Granted, you feel a lot more bumps but they're not harsh, and the car never gets upset. I rode in a 2001 LeSabre that just floated down the highway but it SMASHED on the big potholes. I thought the wheels were going to come up through the hood. I'm becoming a believer in stiffer springs (to a point) actually improving the ride quality.

Joel are you sure you read it rite? Got the cluster btw, thanks again. Lorne

Wow, is that REALLY an 8" drop? Are you sure you measured right?

It was a 1" drop in front, 1 1/4" in the rear.

Powdercoating?? why not just polish them?

I am thinking of going with black spokes/polished lip. Just got my hands on a pictures so I can work some Microsoft Paint and see if I like it. If I don't go black, what should I do with them? The clear coat has stuff underneath it......

I looked for the H&R shocks that would fit my '94 Caprice wagon and couldn't find anything suitable on their site. Any suggestions?

Also, I'm clueless on what exactly ZQ8's are.

I love the way your wagon sits and would like to duplicate that look on mine. I already have the Bilsteins so I'm just looking for the comparable springs and whatever the ZQ8's are.

Thanks in advance,
