Hotchkis Lowering Springs

[turbo6mike]

I have a full set of lowering springs for sale front (19830001) and rear (19930003). I would like $200 shipped to lower 48 plus paypal fees. They are still on the car and will take them out as soon as I sell them. Heres couple of pics.

Does the car sit too low / to stiff or both?

The drop is about 1" from stock ride height. It dont ride stiff but its tight being it has good qa1 adjustable shocks. I did not drive the car much before I bought it and then put it up for storage and just want to go back to stock height.

Do you have pictures of your car? I would like to see how low it looks with those springs compared to stock height? I am looking to upgrade my suspension just trying not to lower the car too much??

hello; Where did you get those numbers? I have a set with the 1993003 ID on them. I called Hotchkis and they said there the wrong spring for a Buick. I believe there a generic spring for a G-Body? I wonder why he said they where wrong for the car? I figured all G-Bodies springs would work espesially in the rear. A front spring could be differant with the weight of a V8 under the hood?

The numbers came off the springs with the hotchkis logo next to it. This is the way the car looked when I bought.

Just called Hotchkis directly and the said the part numbers are correct for a 87 buick grand national 1in drop but they do also offer 2in drop with different part numbers. Not sure were your getting your info.

hello; You know I don't know who to believe. I did call them and they told me what I said. All I can say is when calling about anything get a name and then you can always refur back to them. I didn't do that and I am calling again. This kinda crap pisses me off if you can't even trust the vendor you call.

I do know if you look at summit or jegs they have different part numbers because they sell them in pairs or sets and the numbers vary.

 

[jlat]

hello; I did call Summit and that number is not in there database. It still pisses me off that they told me what they did.
Have you ever goggled a part #. Do it with that # and your not going to find much and Buick is not there.

I did google the part numbers and they come up fitting on some other g-body cars also.

hello; Did it mention the TB? When I looked it didn't and I think it is used mostly in Monty SS. I think they would work in either but when I got the info I did I just went with it.

hello people; This is the last thing I'm going to say about this. I think the guy at Hotchkis is getting pissed. P/N 19930003 is for a 67-72 A-body period. It might fit our cars but there the wrong spring for it.
Now I'm done looking as I'm ordering a set or rears from GSCA to match my fronts..
sorry for the BS

[turbo6mike]

Dude stop cluttering up peoples for sale ads with b.s. This is something u seem to like to do on a regular basis . NO ONE appreciates it ! If u have questions pm the person. The real kicker here is u have and had no intention of buying from this seller. This is very inconsiderate of you ! Ok sorry I had to drop to ur level ....that is all. Joel
