awesome, it'll be back on the road tomorow then..

here are my plans:

 

That will look pretty good.

I know the back already sits pretty low, but it's not supposed to sit like that, so just make sure when you lower it to replace the rear suspension too. And chances are that since it's an AWD it probably has nivomats on the back, and with nivomats I don't think you can just replace the springs like normal shocks, you'll probably have to get new shocks.

 

by just looking at it will i know if its nivomats.. im 90% sure it is cause they say nivomats have soft springs and wear out and sag..

i found this http://www.cadillacfaq.com/faq/answers/pdf/nivomat.pdf
which explains that its basically a fancy system to take more payload than a normal shock/spring combo.

 

Yeah, nivomats look different compared to your standard shocks and springs.

 

ya, do they sell nivomats on rock auto?

and does my car really take 5.6L of oil, thats crazy-talk?

 

I don't know what rock auto is.

and 5.6 sounds right. I think for most people they usually top it off with 6.

 

just for future refrence, and cause they tend to have decent prices

there's a rep on here with a code

 

why does volvo make such cheap blower motors? this is going to be my cars second.

 

well, i got my radio code.
easily guessed, if i would have had more than 3 shots.

why does the radio not have an RCA out for extra subs? also where is the amp location in these cars?

 

Yes, there was an amp in some of the cars. It would be located between the center console and and the heater core behind the carpet. It it designed to work with any of the radios of that year. The main radio harness plugged into it instead of the radio then it has a plug that plugs into the radio. My Wagon did not have one but my T-5R did.

 

is there a way to add a sub to it? does the amp have an RCA out?

under the carpet where exactly?

 

I don't know if you can add a sub to the amp, I doubt it'd be strong enough to power anything substantial. If I were you, I would get an aftermarket head unit and a powered sub.

 

i know it couldent power the sub.. i just need a RCA output. is there one?

 

ehhh, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure my car doesn't have an amp as it doesn't have the rear door speakers, I have the basic audio package. If I had to guess, I would say that it doesn't. I have a feeling it is a basic amp that is mean to just power the speakers and not have any accessories.

 

i really like my car (and i have 2) but its just not helping me out here..

 

 

what kind of shocks and springs do i need if i have nivomats?
