I just had new 140#springs put on my car and it sits higher than it did before. I'm told it is because my old springs were sagging when compared to the new ones. I have KYB gas adjust shocks on it. Any one have any ideas on what it takes to get the back end down to reasonable height? I was told to cut the springs but I would hate to do that to a brand new pair. Seems sorta like a half-assed way to fix the problem.
You can see how it sits if you go to my blog. |

If you cut them, you can snap tie the coil to the lower spring perch. They will reseat correctly. This is done with racing springs that are shorter than stock.
KYB (Kill Your Back) shocks, being gas charged, will always be in the full extended position, whereas others that just dampen the rebound (Konis) will sit lower as they have minimal resistance on compression and the spring will take more of the weight of the car. or In lieu of all this, get over it and raise the front end. |
