I just got off the phone with this company http://www.superiorsportchassis.com on doing a production run of springs for our vans. Now that Eibach has quite producing them. However for them to do them they need at least 50 highly interested people for them to start R&D. If anyone here would be interested please send them an e-mail and let them know. The springs would be approximatly the same drop as the Eibach's.

 

Depending on your model and package, Tirerack.com has a lowering spring kit by eibach as well as adjustable koni shocks for the front. They also have the camber/caster kits for the alianment after lowering it. I personally have not bought a set yet, due to the fact that I dont know it I want to lower my suspension or not. I perfer the touring feeling over a sport feeling on my van but I really need to do something about that gap between my tires and body.

 

I would like to see some pics of these springs?

 

too bad noone makes a proper kit for the first gens, so i improvised, i cut the springs, works fine, & i gained in spring ratio




i just need to get the rear spings de-arched to match, or see if i can use the shakle kit for the newer vans

Cutting springs??? A caravan on cut front springs is about as unstable as you can get...

 

seems perfectly fine to me, but i only driven it in my neighborhood with my blown trans, i couldn't go real far

but i'll find out saturday when its running again

BTW-it has brand new struts, that kinda helps, the old ones had no resistance at all in either direction

Believe me, that's personal experience, cut springs on something as front heavy as a caravan is not safe. New struts will help, but springs themselves will feel like ebay coilovers on a civic...

 

well find out for sure, the van had blown struts for years, i'm almost convinced this is way better, sad part was even with them blown struts, & could still fling that thing around a turn better then most people in a car thats better designed to turn, i'm very fast thru turns

Yep...caravans are very cool cars to run in...if only that tranny could hold more power... Btw now that I think of it...a caravan would be a perfect candidate for a drifter...they are configured to be AWD....just have to get a correct drivetrain...

 

i like your style of thinking!!!

hmm, now i wish i kept that parts mini...

BTW-the van will move once again friday night!!! i got the converter today (thurs), so yay!!!
