The box said 1.8" in the front and 1.7" in the back but it seems pretty level to me. Having an alignment problem (I had a friend lower it for me) It feels like a drifter at the moment lol, but itll be fixed in a day or two. Here is how she sits at the moment in front of my house.

Actually i think somebody already moved it lol. It was originally in General Car Chat.

I bought lowering springs
84-87 INTRAX LOWERING SPRING SET
The Fiero Store sells top quality Intrax lowering spring packages for 84-87 Fieros. Intrax springs will greatly improve handling with stiffer springs that lower the front of your Fiero approximately 1.8" and 1.7" in the rear. The sport springs also enhance the beauty of the car by reducing excess wheel well space common to stock Fieros. Upgrade your springs today for maximum cornering speed.

Before my alignment problem started getting out of hand. The handling was unbelieveable. Ive driven some nice cars in my life but nothing like this. I cant wait to get it fixed lol

It was never right and it had a bit of a toe and it just got worse and worse

Toe issues should never get worse. Either someone whacked a curb and fucked up the steering rack before you got it, or the tierods are going out.

The springs look good though, but since you dropped it over 1.5" you're going to need to readjust the camber, otherwise your tires wont last 6 months.

The new springs look good! Real good! I actually bought some springs for my car a couple months ago.. haven't gotten a chance to find someone to put them on for cheap.

How's the ride on the old shocks?

The ride is just as good as it was before. i can barely feel a difference in comfort
