Draggin_Quest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I have a friend that had a geo storm and he wanted to lower it. He bought this little metal piece that fits on the spring and you can tighten it and it compresses the spring and lowers the car. I never saw it on is car though. Does anybody know anything about this? Like how much does it lower the car? Will it hurt anything? Is it possible to do this on the Quest?

itimport2nr Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Once you compress the spring using the device you are describing, you are essentially changing the spring rate characteristics of the spring. You don't want to do that. Get REAL springs... and buy quality springs. Some of the cheaper springs out there sag A LOT after it settles, lowering the car much more beyond what you originally bought in the first place. Also remember to pair up the new springs with a set of aftermarket dampers (or struts, shocks, etc as they are called... but that's a misnomer in every sense) that are valved to handle the new springs. The stock dampers are designed to work with the stock springs... so toss those out. I have a friend that had a geo storm and he wanted to lower it.

chubacca_tsi Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 i tried that on my quest :-/ they are called spring clamps. My ride sucked after that so took them off just a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87BlueStarion Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I agree changing the original springs in any way it will kill your ride. Go for suspension technique springs or EIbach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
