Nikolai Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well I ordered my sway bar today from Addco. The stock rear one is 18mm, the HD limo OEM one is 20mm and the Addco is 22mm. The Addco was $5 cheaper shipped than the OEM so I went with it. Trying to kill the understeer a little bit, we'll see how it goes. Now that the sway is under way, anyone know of any other ways I can lower the car? Springs are out as nobody makes them and I'm not going to heat/cutt them. Anyone?

Th0r Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I thought that Eibach made lowering springs for the 00-05 DeVilles? Edit: http://www.drivewire.com/performanceparts/...illeprokit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 You will tend to put more lateral stress on the sidewalls with a stiffer bar, you might want to go up in speed rating on your tires now so you don't roll the tires on turns which in itself will contribute to understeer Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drilled and slotted, Helped a ton. They locked up for a while when hitting the hard but I guess the ABS learned the new tollerences, they don't lock up anymore.

justgreat Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 hmm...i wouldn't think a sway bar would have any impact on the heigth of the suspension; either shorter springs or smaller/shorter tires would do the trick. the fatter sway bar in the rear will make it more tail happy, but it will be more fun in the twisties. jackg 90seville 100k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it won't drop it, that is what I'm having a hard time finding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
