Lowering an Aero..............

[Kevs97GM]

Saw this video on the 'net.
I know it's a CV but he gives some part numbers in the comment section later on.

He listed two Moog spring numbers:

Front-CC80551
Rear-CC501

Anyone try this or have any more info?

I might give it a shot after Christmas.

Haven't done it but do be aware if you do so, the center of gravity changes along with other geometry that affects so many things.

+1 alignment is a must after lowering.

Also, anything that works on a CV will work on an MGM and most likely on a TC of the same vintage.

Since his is a 2003, pretty much any panther 2003-2011 should fit the mods as they all use the same suspension geometry. Rear parts should fit back to 1998 as well.

I seem to remember a white Aero Vic that was pretty slammed. That was a bunch of years ago tho, don't remember any details.

No one here has lowered an Aero?

[sly]

Don't think so... That said, anything that fits a box should fit an Aero as well as far as suspension is concerned. All the mounts are still the same from 79-97. The only gotcha is the upper control arms and ball joints. But if your just going for springs and shocks, box stuff will fit.

Pretty sure this is the car i was thinking of:

Looks like this is what is listed for suspension mods-

Steering Suspension and Brakes:
Moog pitman arm, upper ball joints, idler arm, inner/outer tie rods
Steeda X2 lower ball joints
Lowering springs at 2.5" drop from www.coilsprings.com
Addco front/rear sway bars
Metco rear control arms
Bilstein shocks
ENS polly hardware
Russel stainless steel brake lines
98-02 big brake upgrade
Hawk HPS brake pads
Powerslot rotors

My 96 was a little lowered. I took a coil of of front springs and got rear springs from ADTR. Not sure if Chris still sell em. He had a set on his 92.

ADTR has that coil-over system with the adjustable ride height from RideTech for 92-02 (should fit 79-02 though no official box testing has been done).

I do, but I cut 3/4 coil out of the front springs, which are the variable Moog units.
I have air ride in the back, so I just moved the sensor.
