Stock Suspension Help

[raininfire]

For the longest time I have had a major problem with my suspension and clearance. I went from Eibachs that came with the car to Kenny Brown Springs with Bilstein Struts and Shocks, caster camber plates. Well I want to go back to stock springs to get the clearance I need. Can I retain the bilstein struts and shocks? And will I regret this?

I can only stick my pinky between the fender and the tire. My front bumper is torn all to ****. I make drives to Washington, DC 3 times a week. Any other options I might have that isnt gonna be an arm and leg?

Is the front bumper torn up because of tire rub?? If so, you're probably just running the wrong tire size up front, or wrong wheel offset/width.

Sure you can reuse your Bilsteins with stock springs. Just be ready for that 4x4 look again. But, it will ride nice.

The ride height is dictated by the springs. I can't comment on the performance of the shocks/struts used with stock springs though.

Tire size is fine, however if I do hit dips or corner hard the tire rubs the fender lip, and it has all ready been rolled. Front bumper which is a saleen bumper gets f-ed up going into driveways, parking spots, exhaust hits going into parking garages. I want to go back to stock springs, just never seen it on my car, and cant remember exactly how bad it looks.

My Grand Am bumper gets messed up on driveways, parking spots etc... just gotta be careful how you drive I guess

You might want to consider B springs - they have a much milder drop - I have Bilsteins with B springs and am real happy with it - drops it about 1" from stock. EIbach's drop it too much IMHO
