Eibach Part Number 3874.140 Description is for 2006-2009 Lucerne CXL V6 Ive double checked and verified the under body of the lucerne looks exactly like 01+ Aurora. The Set I ordered should be here in a day or two, ill be throwing on some new front struts same time. Just thought this might help a few people lower their ride... cheapest place I found them www.coopscustoms.com $255 Shipped. I'll post up before and after pictures as well F1.4" R1.2" Drop

Let us know how the ride quality suffers. Perhaps before and after pictures would be useful!

I will report back as soon as I put them on. They are Eibachs so I dont expect much ride difference, maybe less roll.

My old car - Cutlass W-Body had a eibachs group buy. The suspensions suffered dearly. Got the drop but the ride quality went into the ********.. I emailed them and confirmed they will ship to Canada (not typical) so as soon as I see some pics and a confirmation of quality I will place my order

Even if we can wrangle up 10 interested parties, it may be worth a couple bucks off. I know I am definitely interested, pending new pictures.

I know I am definitely interested, pending new pictures. Good Idea!!! I talked to Zac Cooper - Not sure of his role in the company but guessing by his last name and the business name; I'd assume he has some influence on the business. But based on his willingness to help me out (shipping across the border at a cheaper rate) I am willing to bet we could get some $$ knocked off if we do a group buy! I will contact him once we have at least 5 people interested. I have seen these group buys go horribly wrong and I don't want to be the "jerk" Coops hates because of someone not paying up etc etc.

Lower yes, but Higher Spring rate, less flex in the spring. If anything I expect them not to rub.
Ive been talking with Zac before I even posted about the springs. I told him to expect more orders... but unfortunately Wednesday I called he said they hit a snag. Eibach discontinued the Lucerne springs due to lack of demand. He told me he would find a cross reference set for me, and if necessary have a set of custom eibachs made with my own height and spring rate for no extra charge since I already placed the order. (im sure with the demand others could be made the same time?)
I will definitely keep everyone posted. Ill even have a write up, before and after pictures, and how my ride changed. Every car Ive been in with Eibachs still seemed close to stock in my opinion. so we'll see.

Coopscustoms refunded my order, they are out of stock and the part is discontinued. I found a few other sites to pick them up from and are in stock so it kinda put me behind schedule. ill keep this thread posted.

Babkas. I kind of expected that though.
There is no aftermarket for our cars. Sad but mostly true

its just the 4 springs I couldnt imagine it coming with anything else.
Im replacing my front struts and mounts same time. I just put new monroe air shocks on the back, and i've made a shorter arm for the leveler so that that the pump will balance properly and not continuously run.
while im putting the springs on I'll also be throwing new rear trailing arm's as the ball joint style ends are warn.
No Shipping to canada? seriously? I might call on that.

Cool!! I'm excited for this thread! That rear suspension setup looks like it was suuuper common on big GMs, cuz my 95' Aurora AND 99' Park Avenue all have, doesn't surprise me at all they used it on the Lucerne. Can't wait for pics
