yes, it is me again... anyway, i've been searching on the internet about performance parts for chevy Lumina 92, like side skirts, rear/front bumper, blah blah, and i can't find some way to lower the suspension of my car, a friend of mine told me that i need to purchase the lowering springs, but it seems kinda trouble, any suggestions?

What kind of paint should i use for the engine, like the metal parts, you know, to make it look cool, any input?

does anybody know how to replace the window motor??? because my window motor is ready to blow, and i already checked under the panel, but i can't see no screws....

and... does anyone know how to take a window out of the door? it's just a curiosity, any help is welcomed...

Thanx.
Ppluche.

The springs will drop if heat is applied to them, like with a propane torch. The trick is getting them to match from one to the other. Just apply flame to one of the lower coils, and as it gets red hot, it wll start to sink. Stop right away, as it will continue for a second after the heat is removed. Then work with the one opposite from it. Try to put some blocks under the car at the lowest point you want it to drop to, that will help overshooting your desired height If you do this, be careful not to heat the strut cartridge, they are under pressure and can burst. I don't know if you will be happy with the handling after doing this, sometimes it's better sometimes not. I've neaver tried it on a FWD car, so I can't tell you what's gonna happen in that dept. You'd be better off going with a set of progressive lowering springs. Don't forget to get it aligned after the drop, no matter how you chose to do it, or you can chew up a set of tires very quick. Check Summit Performance, I think they have body kits for Lumina. I saw some somewhere else online, but I don't remember where. Just do a seach for "body kits Lumina" I think that's howw I found it.

Good luck.


Oh! The window lift motors are usually riveted in factory, you just drill the rivets out, and replace with machine screws and nuts.
