Buddy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 hey on wed nite i was moving some rather heavy boxes in my 85' GL and it did'nt bottom out all the way but it did level it out with the front which made it look very very nice. now that takes me to my question. what can i do to level it out without all the boxes in the back . in other words wat do i need to do to the springs??? i will appreciate your help.

ivantruckman Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 is this 85 gl a 4x4 ? 4x4 s has a ajustable rear spring support, yours may be all the way up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HTi]Johnson Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 is this 85 gl a 4x4 ?4x4 s has a ajustable rear spring support, yours may be all the way up Yup, check under the rear seat for a rubber grommet right in the middle. Pull it and you should see a bolt head, it's a 17mm or 19mm, that is your torsion adjustment. I think if you "loosen" it, it will lower the rear.

TheLoyale Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Does the 4X4 Loyale wagon have the same thing as the 85 GL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Does the 4X4 Loyale wagon have the same thing as the 85 GL? No. And not all 85's will still have it as often the coil-over's have been replaced. You can always change the springs. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 on top of improving handling,you can change springs up fron to give you a llittle lift without stressing the system ,and others have done numerous different configurations on the rears. search around for references like ,ebay coilovers,honda rear springs,and such. i am sure you will find something satisfactory.cheers, brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I Suggest the same Thing I`ve Done, it can Help: Rear: Swap the Springs with Honda Accord`s Front Springs, They`re almost the Same Size, just Thicker and can Handle more Weight. Front: Swap the Springs with Ford Tempo`s Front Springs, They`re almost the Same Size, just a Li`l bit Thickers and they got Two extra (More) Thinner Turns, to Increase Li`l Bumps Absortion. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardtail_pride Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 alright as long as people are posting interchangeable springs, does anyone know of springs for the front and rear that will give your car more lift? Like a couple inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 actually i want to go lower since this is such a clean suby i want to lower it. i know that xt6 springs are used for the front but what is used for the back. mean while what i want to know is how can i level it out with touching the front. i dont want to touch the front.
