Also the front wont take much lowering if you dont adjust the camber as airstruts do on the fly. Bonne'* turn hard and you'll shred if you dont negative camber. Negative camber chews tires on it'* own, another cost to consider when lowering. I'm halfway through 3rd set @37k miles. But a price I pay for having a Show car I treat as a daily driver. And the rear airshocks/Leveling system will defeat any efforts in the rear without major alterations.

Thanks. They dont have air struts in the front OEM. Just mine. And installed in a manner that gives negative camber as they lower. Bonnevilles have wider tires than most older sedans and the engineers gave them tighter clearances then most. But for an 1 to 1 1/2 inch drop you should be ok. I am searching back through the archives for one member who has done a drop that far just using springs for you, I keeping looking as I have time. I think the leveling switch can be tweaked in the rear to keep the rear airshocks in check.
