I wanted to drop the rear 2", so at the suggestion of Canadian-T-Bone, I got the Moog 5413 rear springs. It is supposed to drop the rear 1.5"-2". It's hard to say how much it lowered mine, because the springs on my Malibu was weak and sagging. The fronts are sagging also, and I suspect someone used a torch on them at sometime because the front is not sitting level. I have a spacer in the driver spring to level it out. I'm probably going to get OPG 2" drop springs, but there is a 3-5 week delivery time. :evil: Anyway, here are a few shots.

The current rear tires are 245/60/15.


My son wants chrome IROC repro wheels, so I'm getting the 18" ones, like these:

That's a nice stance. The new wheels/tires will really finish it off nicely. I used the Hotchkis 1902's which dropped it about 1 1/2 inches or so... Just enough.

I've seen several vendors offering front springs with 2-2.5" drop for S-10. S-10 springs should fit a G-body, right? Only thing, I believe the Malibu front end weighs slightly more which would cause a little more drop. I really want only 2" drop. I don't want to worry about excessive rubbing issues.

Phillip, The car looks really nice and the stance is perfect. I'm a fan of those wheel opening moldings. I know a lot of guys don't like them but I do. I also like the four headlight versions. Nice job. Lee

I think it looks good , replace the front springs with better ones & drop spindles & you'll be a hppy camper @ how well it takes corners . My car handles quite well with the drop & 17's .
