Title: Lowering
Post by: 85CougarLS on January 04, 2007, 12:40:07 AM
SOLVED!!                                                                                                                                                          After body work I look at my prowler, and I visualize the car cutting through the air Top'N'Bottom; like in junior science class? However I do not know the products needed to make the adjustment, answers would be appriciated. Hopefully at CATJAM 07'

You could cut the factory springs. Most everyone will tell you not to do it that way. If not springs are all you need. Now getting the spinrgs that will give you the look you want and have the car sit level or really close. ThaT would ne the hard part.

SN95 rear springs lower the back of the car pretty well.

As odd as it's gonna sound, front springs from a 84-96 Jeep Cherokee or 86-92 Jeep Comanche will lower the front about 2-3".  I know this because I have 2 Comanche's and know a lot of people looking for fox chassis front springs to lift their front ends.

And i thought the jeep guys used F150 springs to get more lift..

A lot of people do use F-150 springs, but they tend to be a little bit too stiff because of the spring rates being so high, whereas the fox cars have almost the same spring rate as the Jeeps do.
