I know there isn't a lot of aftermarket for these vehicles, but has anyone found anything that works on the newer body style vehicles to lower them?
I have read some about the older modeless using Redline struts and megin springs. would that even work on these newer ones?

Have you been able to find any lowering springs, coilovers, etc

I would think it would but you might have to measure. I'm assuming your has struts on the front and shocks on the rear? Also if you do the camaro 20's make sure it's the same bolt pattern.

Look in this thread there are part numbers for the drop. Drop kit
i don't thing those shocks and springs are available anymore, and my bolt pattern in 5x115 so the Camaro wheels wont work.
@TwinStealth no i haven't found anything for these yet.

The Megan racing springs are still available as well as the struts listed in that thread. I just lowered my 15 with them last month. You would have to look aftermarket for wheels, is your rim size 18?
No my terrain cam stock with the 19s, but if I do go for some new wheels I'm thinking of going to an 18 since the brakes on these are kinda small and look funny behind a bigger wheel.
And is the suspension the same from the older models to the newer ones? I thought the newer ones maybe different.
I just did a little checking and the shocks and struts for the 2020 are different. Do you have any performance suspension type shops near you?
unfortunately not, there isnt much where i live, and no one open on saterdays
Hm there has to be a way, I'm sure someone has done it. Bags or hydraulics are going to be expensive.
i remember when i had my sunfire i had to cut open a shock and replace it with a koni yellow when i added some drop springs, but i dont know if there are any drop springs for this thing, i really dont want to cut a coil or anything.
I definitely wouldn't do that, I would keep digging tho as I'm sure it's been done. You might try contacting Megan racing and see if they know or might suggest who to talk to about it. I'm sure they know their Saturn springs work on the Terrains.
You would thing as long as these have been out there would be some kind of aftermarket for them. the new body style came out in what 2019, and I think the new 2023 share the same suspension components i think they just got a face lift and a rear change.
I agree, like I said there has to be someone somewhere that has done it.
i contacted belltech and asked them if they was going to do anything with the terrain for suspension aftermarket, and pretty much got told that they dont offer anything for my vehicle.
Did they suggest anyone that might? McGaughys maybe.
this is what he said,

I would try calling McGaughys and Megan racing. Don't email them you'll probably get the same generic response. Also by calling whoever you talk to might know where else to look if they can't help you.
I had already emailed McGaughys before I got your post, but got the same responce as belltech.

Thats the generic response, no one wants to bother with emails anymore. if you can calling is usually better.
