Anyone got any ideas on how to temporarily lower my TA ? It needs to be driveable though, at least for a day or 2. I dont want to chop the springs or have to replace anything afterwards. I just need to get to emissions and back to the shop. If they can't drive it over the rollers, they can't test it.
I don't have the time or money to get it to pass right now.

 

sort of confused on the question. are you saying you want it lowered now but want it back to stock height when you have time and money so they can drive it over the rollers and then lowered again afterwards?

No, I want to lower it so they can't test it. But only temporarily. I want to raise it back to stock right after I go there.

 

I don't know exactly what kind of answer you are looking for as the stock suspensions don't come with adjustablity features. You will have to get lowering springs or maybe just load the car up with alot of sandbags.

 

I would think that about 1000lbs spread throughout the car ought to make it about as low as you could ever need it to be. Not really sure how driveable it will be though, you might want to arrange to have half the weight added shortly before you arrive at the inspection center.

 

Ok, so you get a couple fat chicks..........

 

You could get those coil clamp(u-bolt) things. I think they sell them at Pep Boys

 

i'd go with BLK96Z28's idea. you just bolt them over a few coils and compress the spring to lower it, take it off when you're done and vwa-la, back to stock ride height.

One of these should do the trick

oh my god, my eyes!

 

wal-mart..................go get some 50 pound weights........problem solved

 

There's no where to put weight in the engine compartment. I obviously can't sit it on the hood.
Even with the t-tops I don't think I could pour that 1/2 ton of blubber in the car ! Imagine them telling her she's gotta get out !
Will the spring compressors fit on the front?

 

you could always just buy a set of adjustable coilovers that fit on the factory shocks............that would be a fix for now and for other times down the road (a $420 fix, but a fix none-the-less........... )

 

My car is lowered 2" and still goes on an above ground dyno no problem so you're not gonna make that idea fly. Unless you can compress the springs, get some really small tires and load it up with as much weight as you can. In the end your gonna end up wrecking something and costing yourself more than its worth.

 

There you go. Put 4 space saver spares on the car.
