Suspension Question
I'm pretty sure this should be here, if not please move it.
How hard would it be to lower my car about 2 inches or so? Would I need shorter springs and such??

Bags are going to be one of your only options short of cutting the springs which can lead to all sorts of problems..so can bags though.
Lowering cars often leads to suspension and other drivetrain related problems on FWD cars.

no one makes a set of springs that are designed for the Bonneville. There ARE a couple options available that MAY or may not work, and i have done a bit of research on this, but haven't figured out exactly if they would work or not. Best solution would be to have a new set of springs custom made, however it is not recommended to do so because the altered suspension geometry may cause issues with the stability control system.

Keep in mind GAMEOVER blew thru 2 transmissions in a matter of months..I believe it had something to do with bagging it.
