What parts do you guys use that have the transverse spring suspension to lift it up in the back? I got one on my 91 GP and it sags like you know what. Let know because everytime i look at it, it pists me off.

I believe you can buy new pads for the spring perches. Should give it a bit of a lift.
When I replaced my rear struts with gas charged ones the rear of the car perked up just a bit.1991 Grand Prix GTP LX9swap/Getrag 284 --- SOLD =(

at this website, what do i type exactly to view this?Comment

ok i saw on the website a transverse isolator pad. do you know how they are installed and exactly how do they push up the height of the rear?Comment
-
isolator pad sounds like a pretty good technical term for it.Comment

I have a FE3 rear spring from my 95 GTP. And I can remove the spring from my Z34 parts car if u wanted one. I believe the Z34 spring is FE3 as well. Just change the spring and it will raise the car back up and give it a better ride. Or just cut a coil and a half off the front to level it out.Robert

Do NOT cut coil springs!!
Very dangerous to begin with and ...well that is just GHETTO!
Replace the insolators, or swap out the spring. Heck do both!Last edited by asylummotorsports; 10-08-2009, 07:34 AM.Comment

ok lets try this, those white blocks by moog that you put on the ends of the transverse spring, have anyone tried that option yet and if so, do they work well?Comment

The Moog helper springs help W bodies out really well, from what I've heard.-60v6's 2nd Jon M.

ok i've heard several options to fix a saggin' transverse spring but which one is the best? Does anyone have any pics of a fix up of either of the mentioned solutions to show? Let me know.Comment

i would do both, but i would NEVER cut coils... anyone that does is asking for more trouble than good.Comment

i put new struts in and my car sits about 1" higher than it used to in the ass end. no before after pics though. generally if you bought the car used from someone, its probably a good idea to replace the struts. mine were SHOT and as for the pads, well the thicker spacers you put in there, the higher its going to be, same thing with the curve of the spring.
we have a place in town that does leaf springs for trailers. as soon as i get around to getting an example spring out of the JY theyre going to make me something out of metal...
its not gonna cost me tooooo much either.Comment
