With my most recent ride height adjustment my rear springs are too short for the perch positions. Any recommended methods for tying the springs to upper and/or lower perches?

If you have the new style Bilsteins you can drill and zip-tie the top and bottom perches, the lower perch will ride up the shock when you lift the car. The older style you can't zip-tie to lower perches and have to clock the springs as above.
BTW if your springs are too short you have aftermarket progressive springs, I think 150lbs was the most common, but they come in several ratings. |
