Granada rear leaf springs (5)

Opinions? From what I have read the Granadas get the rear of the car substantially higher than normal. Which is what I'm going for, eventually some 15" Micky Thompsons will be thrown on there too.

Louder is always better so whichever of the two glasspacks is better and if you could let me know thatd be rad!

I dont think you use Glass Packs with the sidepipes. They have their own glasspack built into the side pipe.

 

That's what I though... here is the sidepipe description:

I am interested to see how you like the Granada springs.

 

Not trying to be a hater or anything...but shipping with them is retarded expensive for me..might be better for you since your on the mainland but i couldn't justify putting out that shipping when the local item was like 10 dollars more..the local spring shop here quoted me like 50 bucks for a re-arch on leaf springs and i think it was a 110 or 120 for new. those cherrybombs are like 3 bucks more at canadian tire also..lordco though iv'e never priced mufflers there yet

 

Well if the sidepipes have internal glasspacks maybe I'll give that a whirl first.

If they can I might just buy the cherrybombs to test it out later anyways... Maybe.

 

If I can find the pipes or springs locally I dont mind paying the extra either! I hadnt got a good look at the shipping costs yet. I know what your talking about though. o.o

 

Yep shipping is killer from those guys to Canada. Dont think they like us much.

 

Summit ships via UPS, don't they charge extra broker fees or something like that to Canada? I hear USPS doesn't charge thought.

 

UPS rapes us Canadians!!! I order from Summit, when I have no other choice, other than that I buy local.
Sidepipes are out of style, it's 2012!!! If your car came with them from the factory, then that's another story. If you want to get pulled over buy the cops every night, go ahead and get them. Save your money and buy something that'll make you car faster, not a joke.

 

But but ...

 

granada leaf springs raise the rear end? anyone have pics of how it sits with granada leafs?

 

I just put thrush glasspacks on my car with 2.5" pipes turned out just before the rear tires it sounds pretty good but LOUD!!! As for side pipes it's your car, so as long as you like them go for it :Handshake

 

You will love the sidepipes. Great sound, and I think they look classy.

It will help that the springs will bring your car up a bit, since the rear of those pipes have a tendency to catch on things.

 

Dave tell us how you really feel ?

 

This is an old pic on my car with Granada springs. They were taken off of a new Granada and they hadn't sagged....old Granada springs might be a different story. It set the rear end up so high the rear shocks were fully extended.



As far as sidepipes, please let them rest in peace in the 70s along with bellbottoms and leasure suits.
