Suspension94HeavyChevy 01-14-2008, 12:48 AM i have a 94 caprice with a 5.7L V8 and i want to lower it, give it a slightly raked look, and make it overall stiffer with not so much flex while cornering. ive seen a 1 inch lowering kit by hotchkins and a 2 inch lowering kit by sprint. i was thinkin of getting the 2 inch lowering springs for the front and the 1 inchers in the rear...what else could i do to stiffen the ride up...any suggestions would be appreciated silicon212 01-14-2008, 01:13 AM Don't use lowering springs. If you want to remove height, keep the springs that you have and use lowering knuckles instead - this will retain the proper suspension geometry so that your handling and cornering does not go south. j cAT 01-14-2008, 06:39 PM i have a 94 caprice with a 5.7L V8 and i want to lower it, give it a slightly raked look, and make it overall stiffer with not so much flex while cornering. ive seen a 1 inch lowering kit by hotchkins and a 2 inch lowering kit by sprint. i was thinkin of getting the 2 inch lowering springs for the front and the 1 inchers in the rear...what else could i do to stiffen the ride up...any suggestions would be appreciated last summer i reworked the front and rear stailizer bars used new bushings on front and in rear removed bar support cleaned up rust repainted and all this stiffed up vehicle on turns ...... 94HeavyChevy 01-14-2008, 09:41 PM what are lowering knuckles and where would could i find them? CD Smalley 01-14-2008, 09:59 PM I believe what you want to look for are lowering spindles. 94HeavyChevy 01-14-2008, 10:57 PM ok i have never heard of the term knuckles before...i have seen 2 inch lowering spindles on some web sites...are drop spindles just for the front suspension? vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
