    Recommened lowering springs for AWD?

    I don't want anything too drastic. Just maybe drop it the inch or so that they added to the AWD ride height. I've seen the Ground Force springs on EBAY for mid $200's.

    i saw those too, and with shipping its just short of $300.

    it said 1.2 in front, 1.3 in rear. it would end up just a little lower than a rwd, might be perfect.

    some guys here have the v2 coilovers and love them, but they are also a lot more money...

    I have the KW V2 on mine and love them, but I had on the ground force for a week prior to my Kw's.

    I would be willing to sell them to you for $200.00 + shipping!

    Any Takers?

    What's the shipping to 22407? Did you upgrade to the Kw's because the ground force had issues?

    I would do more homework guys.

    I do not think those springs will work for the AWD Magnums.

    I beleive the KW's and Air are the only ways to correctly lower the AWD Magnums.

    I have used the fronts only to get a raked look and help with traction.

    The REAR DOES NOT WORK WITH NIVOMATS(self leveling shocks). Unless you mod them. There is a thread about that recently.

    I have the KW V2s and am happy with the handling (slightly rougher on rough roads)but corners feel much more glued to the road. Love the look of the 2" drop on the AWD. Once you use lowering springs (there weren't any available for AWD previously) you can potentially expect problems with your shocks not having enough travel/literally pounding them to pieces.

    What's the part number, I want to make sure they are for the AWD. Will you take $200 shipped? Paypal?

    I have the same Eibach's and they worked out fine for me. I was able to use a lift at a local garage to do the install, it took a few hours.

    On my AWD, the rear was lowered more than the front, I don't know why. Sitting in a parking lot you can kind of see the rear sitting a bit lower and it even measures lower.

    The drop is perfect though....I lost NO ride comfort, looks awesome with oversized wheels, mine are 20's and it's realitively easy to do.

    Do you have some photos of your ride's stance. The lower in the back look does bother me. That's one of the things I didn't like about the suspensions on our Fbodys. I ended up dropping the front 2 inches on my TA so the stance looked right.
