The stock ride height of the 96+ Suzukiclones is really high. (It looks so high that GM actually lowered the cars for some of the promotional photography at the time).
I've never really thought the car had excessive body roll, and I don't think its ride is wallowy. That's not my motivation.
Motivation: excessive ride height = poor aerodynamics. Lowering should have the effect of slightly reducing
both frontal area
and Cd.
Time to address it, with what should be a simple swap. Pictured above is a 20 year-old set of very ratty looking aftermarket lowering springs from...
...the very ratty Swift GT parts car that I junked last summer.
From everything I've read, swapping the parts is supposed to be a super quick job: only about 10 minutes out & 10 minutes in per corner.
My main concern is ride quality -- I drove that Swift GT briefly once, and I vaguely remember it being quite harsh and bouncy. I'm not sure I'll be able to tolerate that for slightly better MPG.
We shall see.
