Cool Lowering a Wagon

I'm new to the Caprice Wagon crowd and was wondering a few things. How do you lower one of these things? Does someone make a cowl-type hood? How about the rear roll pan? Any web links I should be looking at? Just bought a 1993 wagon, dark blue with mags. Love it, but want to make it my own. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Wagon Lowering

I have had 2 wagons. I would go with stock Impala SS springs and not lower the car to much. My 1995 wagon was lowered to far it sucked to drive. I did not like
the jumping from the car being to low and jumping when going over bumps and
railroad tracks. If I was going to lower a car I would go with a air-ride system.
So one could be low for shows and have a reasonable ride height for normal driving. My 95 wagon has Impala SS springs and I like the ride. I also have some Air Lift bags in the rear springs so when I load the rear it won't sag.

Good Luck with your ride! I recently sold my 1992 SS Wagon.

Here what my boy did to an SO CALLED freinds wagon, that wagons actually on Springs and bags in the rear

THey are Springs from a Sprint racecar, they are 10" tall as apposed to 15" stock He used rubber spacers under the spring, to raise to a drivable level

Ill tell you, and this is no Exageration. The Car rides GREATTTTTTTT

100mph car dove and rode over a bump as if it was lowered.

Reason being is new shocks, and non Collapsed springs,

Thats how im lowering my wagon
