so I think I've established my mind on where I want to go with the car.

[slowchevy]

Who knows how to lower one of these? have decided I'd like to go in the "VIP" style of modding for a direction with this car.

This is how the car looks right now.

This is where I want to go with it.

Tasteful, usable drop. Zinik Z34 silver/machine finish 20" X 8.5, blacked out trim and roof / lip spoiler.

How do you drop one of these??? ANY help is appreciated..

This guy is the inspiration in me wanting to do this. So bad ass and so different.

Always thought this car was perfect.

so what can I do ?

I'm planning on doing struts up front and air shocks in the back soonish, so it'd be a perfect time to swap springs over. Aren't these basically the same chassis as the DeVille? If so, those lowering springs should logically work.. right? ?

That last picture is badass. Good.luck my dude.

That looks like a pretty decent drop, useability depends on where you drive. That car look@low enough that road construction, driveways, and other everyday things will be an issue..... I'm not a fan of.dropping daily drivers more than an inch.

Also, how to drop: buy drop springs, install. No matter how tempting it is to cheap out.and cut the stock springs, don't it'll ride like ass and hit the bump stops all day.

Gunmetal rims may look better......

Also take into account that the car will sit lower with you in it than when it is empty(not a fat joke).

Also, doesn't your car have air suspension in it?

 

[Yaj Yak]

I would go black wheels or chrome like you got. I wouldn't do gunmetal.. I also don't know if I would lower it that much, stock rides Sooo nice

I expect to see some mad fucking camber on this bitch

Stock height doesn't even look that high

"established my mind" ?

 

[greasy]

I think a drop with some classy wheels would set the car off. Do me a favor and please remove those little side vents on the front 1/4 panels.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Lol those are oem

 

[greasy]

Lol those are oem

Are they actual vents or just 3M double-sided taped accents?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Actual, OEM, no sticky.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Are they actual vents or just 3M double-sided taped accents?

Like holes in the fender with the chrome trim attached on it. Buicks have had them for years.

 

[EmersonHart13]

It's retro.

 

[DanJ]

Is that guy on cut springs or bags?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

S00ls is probably typing out his whole history lesson again

 

[greasy]

Damn, I would seriously consider getting those removed, have new sheet metal welded in, and then resprayed. At least in the mean time black them out with something.

 

[Euro]

Having them blacked out would be cool

 

[PANDA]

LOL @ Roof spoiler

 

[Euro]

VIP BRO

 

[SaturdaysGS]

There's a guy on clubgp with a white modded SSEi that lowered his by using Cadillac DeVille drop springs and adjusting the height sensor in the rear.

Damn, I would seriously consider getting those removed, have new sheet metal welded in, and then resprayed. At least in the mean time black them out with something.

Lol I'd rather spend the $1000 it would cost to have that completely unnecessary thing performed anywhere else

 

[DanJ]

Fenders on the regular PA's don't have those I don't think. I'd probably look for a rear ended black PA before having body work done.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'd just leave them

Blacked out would be alright too
