Lowering front only
 
I have 18" Alesio Turbo wheels, but the offset is a little wide. If I have people in the back the tires will rub just a bit :mad: . My real question is :confused: . How to or what is the best way to lower just the front too make my SVX look better (nothing i can do about the back :confused: ). Don't get me me wrong, I usually won't have people in the back !(to much extra weight :D )

You can cut one coil (or so) off the front springs, but I've been told that the cut spring tends to squeak against the spring perch. Other than that, you could buy a pair of my front springs.

You might try adding camber bolts in the back and cranking in a little negative camber to get rid of the rubbing.
Mychailo's springs are the best long term solution!

Thanks for the replies ;) .I might just take you up on the offer for the front springs :o ,.How much for just the fronts?

What's the going rate at a shop to put in front springs only :confused: .I'm to old and tired to do this crap :eek: :D .Any replies are greatly appreciated!! The biggest problem for working on my car is that I work from home have 2 small kids 1&1/2 and 3&1/2.So to do these projects I only have weekends really and thats the time I want to spend with my wife :p (oh did i mention catching up on sleep)who works out of the house . So I guess I should change my screen name to MISTERMOM94L :D :D What I really need to know is what some of you guys and Gals (to be politicly correct)have paid for your spring jobs :p ;)So I know what I'm looking at money wise! ;) Thanks

It would probably be about $200 or so to get them in including an alignment.

How low can you go??? :D With these springs my guess is you're exhaust would be touching the ground. There's about 350lbs missing up front on ours :D

Not sure what you're talking about for the springs. He was asking about my springs which will lower his car by about 3/4" and increase the spring rate by 35%.
