    Lowering a V6

    1" -1 1/4" would be great but every add I see gives different amounts on the same springs (lol). One add says "about .75" drop in the rear" then another add for the same spring says "about 1.5" drop". That's a big difference. Guess I'll have to call the manufactures to get the true ride height.

    Lowering a V6

    I found Sprint lowering springs but they are a 2" drop. Why is it either a 1/2" or 2" for the rear? You would think some one would make a 1".

    Lowering a V6

    Wouldn't they be too stiff (in the front) for a V6 though?

    Lowering a V6

    Thanks, that's just the info I wanted before deciding. I want to go with a 1" drop all around but I can only find kits that go about 1" front, 1/2" rear (on V6 cars) or a full 2". Does anyone make a 1" drop front & rear?

    Damn insurance rates.....

    Some of it is the ins. company policy and where you live and of coarse your age but when I had Allstate ins. it didn't matter what size the engine was. I bought a 99 Camaro with the 3.8 about 5 years ago thinking it would be cheaper then found out I could have got the V8 for the same rate...

    Chirping sound?

    I tried tapping on the plastic below the windshield again on the passenger side and heard a slight chirping / squeak but it's not very loud so I don't think that's it on mine anyway.

    Lowering a V6

    You said when going lower than 2" you need caster / camber plates but do you with a 2" drop? I really like the looks of a 2" better but I need to know what all I have to get first. Also do you have problems with rubbing? When I dropped my Camaro 2" I had to take drive ways at an angle which was...

    Cheap performance mods

    I would get a free flow muffler like Magnaflow and lowering springs. No the springs won't make it faster but it will handle much better, sound better and look better.

    That looks a lot better now. Which springs did you go with?

    Lowering a V6

    I'm also wanting to lower mine a little and am thinking of the Ford racing B series springs which drop it about 1" in the front and about 3/4" in the rear. Will I need caster / camber plates or will it be OK without them and has anyone else used them so I can get an opinion first?

    v6 exhaust

    2 1/5" is about the limit but anything larger on a stock 3.8 will rob power.

    Chirping sound?

    I tried the music but you can still hear it. Reminds me of Buddy Holly and the Crickets on how they got their name (lol).

    v6 exhaust

    I know of one that got 3" exhaust from headers and back on a NA engine and it didn't hurt him. Is his engine stock? Mine was and had dual 3" pipes out of a single flowmaster and I lost a bunch of torque with that set up.

    exhaust question

    I just put a Magnaflow on mine and it's a lot nicer sounding than my Camaro (3.8) with a flowmaster.

    They have those for the 3.8? Would they fit the 3.9 or is it a different motor?

    You should have no trouble then as long as you use premium gas and no chip. Detonation will kill an engine fast.
