Droppin my Grand Am GT

Hey guys...

I have to go in and get my alignment fixed on my 00 Grand Am.
I'm also thinkin about lowering it maybe 1 inch..
How do I go about doing that?
Do I need to buy new springs or what?

Thank Yall!

To lower your Grand Am all you really need to buy is a new set of springs. I have put on a set of SpringTech. The most popular set of springs is Eibach. While your doing all this though, most people including myself throw on a new set of Struts since everything is off anyways. A lot of people, including myself again put on a set of KYB GR2 struts, I know that Vipey went this route also and I must say they seem pretty nice. If you have anymore questions just let us know! Oh yeah, I also put on a new set of chamber adjustment, I think I remember Xero saying this wasn't totally neccesary but it was far easier for me to do this instead of trying to use the stock adjustment.

Here's the Equipment


Here's what it looks like after it was done...

Eibach springs + KYB struts = awesome

Re: Droppin my Grand Am GT

Sometimes a chamber kit is needed to properly align all four corners and finely tune the alignment.
I realy dont know why other then SE vs. GT, the SE having smaller sway bars, and springs.

If I ever do any dropin I'd just go with air ride suspension so I could go low one day then High the other. Get it all jacked up in the rear, It would just be amusing
