I have a 82 GSL, and Im looking for a suspension kit to get it lower. Im running 14x7 wheels and I need to find a kit, springs, struts, etc. Anyone know of a good one with out busting my wallet?

racing beat has a kit with sway bars, an springs for like 4 or 500 bucks

I dont need swaybars, I already have those. Is there anyway of buying struts and springs for under 400 bucks?

I got my Suspension Techniques springs for 430CDN if that helps any.In the states they should be fairly cheap.1" drop is nice too.BTW Welcome to Nopistons.

Id like to see a photo of a 1st gen that has been 1 inch lowered. Is it a dramatic look difference. Im running 14's so I cant get it as low as the 13 inch guys. Im just sick of seeing all the space between the wheel wells. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks RacerX. Carl

I have 15" rims and I still think its not low enough yet.Plenty of clearance.I should have cut a coil off each one but I thought it was going to be lower.I have those springs and tokikos all brand new on my turbo.

camocarl 01-19-2004 09:41 PM

Do you have any pics? Are these parts brand new. Thanks, Carl

camocarl 01-19-2004 09:53 PM

Ill post a pic of my car tommorow and see what yall think of it 1 inch lower. Its for street use. Looks stock from the outside, a few dents and digs, but motor is a 4 port 13B out of a Rotary Wagon. Still starts up everytime. And fast, sounds great. Full exhaust system, custom made. Thanks for the answers.

camocarl 01-20-2004 09:20 PM

How Do I edit the pics? Yes those are some old school Enkies. I like them because they have a fairly big offset and a nice lip. Ill try to get the pics to work. Carl
