I would like to lower my car.

[PantherP71]

What do I need to lower my car a little. I hear guys go with 1.5" coils, what else would I need?

[airjordan2k8]

[marauder410]

you cut ur front stock springs and adjust the rear air ride

My first choice wpuld be eibachs with KYB shocks(good luck finding them), my second choice would be Eaton( see link above) there is a carcraft project panther that uses them and I've seen a former members car with them, it sits perfect., third would be to cut a coil

[PantherP71]

Maybe I should run water through the engine between oil changes, also. You know to make sure it is cleaned out?

I'm open for actual suggestions.
I am not cutting springs though*

Edit: Thanks Comin'

Edit: Thanks Comin'
And why is that? Hundreds on here including myself will tell you it will be the best possible ride over lowered springs, which are discontinued thru eibach anyhow...

I haven't had any problems with my cut coils. Rides great, looks great. Gonna do it to my friends crown vic today!

[tallpaul]

My Eibachs ride just fine and I lowered my rear air bags.

I do not want cut coils.

Is there a camber bolt or part number that I will need?

Tell you what. I want raise my car back to stock. I'll trade you your uncut coils for my cut coils.

[Comin' in Hot]

There is a camber bolt, either SPC, or Moog

[PantherP71]

Anybody have a link for that?

[Comin' in Hot]

You could get the moog ones at rock auto, or the SPC ones from Tirerack, I would highly advise getting the aluminum cutting bit both companies offer, if you try to use something designed for steel, it will probably clog the bit.

This is a joke right?
HTF runs water through the motor after draining the oil?

I always run fresh cold water from my hose inbetween draining old oil and putting in new oil.

[guspech750]

Just cut your coils. Save some $$$. Sooooo many Panther peeps have cut coils. I plan on using cut coils when the time comes for me to get up off my ass and do them.

O'Tay.
I've never heard of such a thing. But if it works for you. That's cool. No way am I running water through my motor.

Sometimes I like to mix in sand with it.

[whitey]

Guspech, lighten up...hes saying that cutting coils is a bad idea just like running water in place of oil.

I couldn't tell you about cutting coils, but i can tell you that i built a catch can that catches water and oil blowby...;)

[PantherP71]

If others cut there coils that is fine with me. I, however, would rather not cut my coils.

[guspech750]

What about Naake shocks and springs. Anyone know if they still offer them for our cars?

Why not cut the coils? What's wrong with doing that in your eyes?

Heres what can be wrong: http://www.eatonsprings.com/cuttingcoilsprings.html

With 10 year old front springs like most people (including Panther P71) have on this site your MM already sits 1" lower. (Mine was)

[PantherP71]

I found what I need for another venue. (http://unitedpantherownersassociation .us/Forum/index.php)Thanks to those that offered suggestions and options. (http://unitedpantherownersassociation .us/Forum/index.php)

Cutting coils is usually safe it done correctly,IE,you cut them with a saw,not a torch,just as people heating coils to collapse them to lower a car is a bad idea.
Oh boy,I guess I posted what babbage the same stuff as what the link in babbage's post. Great minds think alike,lol.

My Dad helped my brother cut the coils on his 67 Failane to lower it. No big deal. It rode pretty good...for a low rider...

I see what i have missed about this site right here in this thread lol.
