OK, I have an 86 GN, I have it lowered a bunch, Moog coil 5385s w/ a coil removed, dropped it right at 3". I have KYB shocks, rear disc conversion, and 20x10s on 275-30s.
Here's the deal. It has no travel. Its all tire...and there aint much there when you run a 30 series!!
The rear driver caliper was hitting the frame, so I notched a vertical slice in it for clearance....test drove it, now its clear but now I have 1" travel.
Anyone w/ a G-body experienced this? I have seen many regal's lower than this, and something just doesn't add up. The shocks surely have more than 3" of travel...The plan is to remove the lower shock bolt next, and see if it changes anything.
Anyone else had this issue on a G-body?
Shed some light if you can...
 
If you've lowered it that far you're not going to get anything but a rough ride. To lower it properly you need to take the frame out and do a bunch of mods. The car isn't designed to work like you have it now. Lift it up some at least.
