scraping, lowering with a kit Options

[jayi12-15psi]

I have a 94 gt with a z glide lip, and I am going crazy trying to stop from scraping the ground whenever I go down an incline or into a drive way

I have a stock suspension, and I was wondering what you guys with kits do to keep from scraping when your ride is lowered?

I don't really care if my car sits lower I just want a stiffer ride and I dont want to scrape any more

any suggestions on what I should buy? I'm not really looking to lower the car, but I want it to handle better

go on and angle... that will help, just make sure one of your front wheels hits the road first before your body kit and then you will be sweet.
For handling, get a set of sway bars and strut bars. and you should be good to go from there.

On some inclines u just may not be able to help it - it hurts i kno.

what are sway bars?

I'm kinda new to this suspension stuff

Drive a hundred at the incline and your car will jump like the fast and the furious people will think it's cool

sooooo, what are sway bars? I was hoping someone could tell me, I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question for you guys, thought someone would heve answered by now

[SiKBOY]

hm.. sometimes they are called anti-swaybars.. which do exactly as they say. They stop the car from swaying or rolling to the left and right when taking corners hard. Kind of like driving a go-kart.

For me it was the best bang for my buck compared to lowering etc.

[jayi12-15psi]

where on the car do they attach?

[HyperDeathKill]

Front, under the hood. And in the trunk. I also think theres something you can mount under the car? Anyway, there is a stock sway bar in the Celi GT I know. It's that little black almost triangle bar that connects from on top of where the shocks would be.

[SiKBOY]

They are under the car. I think that the GT came with stock sway bars but they are a waste of space. They are too thin and dont work to well. Get some thicker ones but not too thick or else you will be getting some mad sideways action going.

They go from front shock to front shock and rear shock to rear shock.

Best thing to do is to get a front one and see if you like it, then get the rear one.

Its kind of hard to take a photo of it because its sort of underneath the car but up inside it.

like sikboy said the purpose of sway bars is to tie the lower part of the struts together. strut bars tie the tops together, thereby creating a more rigid structure.

hope that helps.

thanks guys, like I said, I don't know to much about suspension

about scrapin... well man... juss do as told. but then again u cant help scrapin it sumtimes. juss go sideways and try to make the wheel touch the ground first. AND GO SLOW. lol. i know it's very annoying and it hurts. but gotta cope wif it. and about sway bars and struts. u dun really need them unless u go driftin. if u want better handling for regular drivin a front strut will b good enough.
