    Lowering springs

    I call coilspring.com to see how much a set would be for my '95 Vic.
    It was rite at $300 for all four.


    ? Does anyone have any experiance with these guys?
    ?What was the results?

    I also checked on braided brake line hoses. A set of 5 for my cay would be $200. I have already slotted the rotors and man what a diffrence. I would say the braided hoses would compliment the upgrade.

    Input please!
    Do it with a 5spd!

    I have heard that the braided hoses are worth up to 18 ft less stopping distance at 70mph....

      www.speedwaymotors.com have a big selection of pre-made Goodridge brake lines for a lot less than $300. you just need to know what sizes and fittings you need.

      Also this thread might be better suited to PSCDT (Panther Suspension/Chassis/Drivetrain Technology). why dont we add a few more words in that title.

        Goodridge lines are discontinued, its a custom only thing. I called goodridge, and BTW IAS shocks will no longer be available after the warehouses run out. I called edelbrock and talked to a rep. :bs:

          Here are the lines. when we ordered some they showed up with a Goodridge band on all the lines.

          Here are the fittings. Not sure what fittings you would need.

            Goodridge still makes lines but I'm talking about the kits they had for the panthers. You could order front and rear brake line kits that bolted right up, no fabrication.

              I use Goodridge for my mechanical oil pressure gauge. I also got them from Speedway, I love their stuff. It's pretty damn cheap, and good quality. I can sit and read their catalog for weeks...

                I ordered my front springs from Coilsprings.com. The service and parts were top notch. I'd recommend them.

                As for braided brake lines, I have a custom made set of front lines that I installed when I up-graded to '00 front brakes. I don't really see any difference in feel, but I haven't touched the rears yet. I figure I'll do those next time I replace my rear pads and see how things feel.
