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?

That's the newer perch style that will ride up the shock tube if you zip-tie the perches top and bottom (progressive springs).
As the spring works it actually twists as it goes up and down, slowly spinning the spring. A big bump or jacking the car up and the lower perch can get spun off of it's index with progressives, so I do recommend drilling and zip-tie (or safety wire) the bottom perch on this style of perch. BTW the stock style spring doesn't have this issue (IMO) as it's always sprung. |
