Yeah, I still run stockers in the back due to an incident with a bump in the road and my wife hitting here head on the t-top. The guy that installed them misplaced the stock front springs so I had to leave the eibachs on. Now the passenger side is sagging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its the spring, everything else is fine. Springs are 3 years old and have had a lot of abuse... thank you Hilliard construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably just go stock. I dont trust the QAs for street use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'll probably just go stock. I dont trust the QAs for street use. Well I'll eventually go that route and I'll let you know, I think with the higher rate spring and adjustable struts will work fine but I haven't tried it yet. Actually you can ask LiftedRam98 I think thats what he's got on the front of his car, and the car drove good when i was in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 you replacing the rear , front or all? and i think liftedram sold his car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 How old are the shocks/struts? Springs shouldn't sag much more after the initial sag period after installation. Any time I've seen sagging of any kind was related to old worn out dampeners. Perfect example: My brother's old Protoge 5 was on some springs and over the years the car had slowly started getting lower. We replaced the shocks/struts and it raised the car nearly an entire inch.

caseyctsv Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have Hotchkis and love them for the street - the track? well we all know it has been a while since I have been to the track but seemed to work fine ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 any drop spring is too stiff for drag racing. period i know many many cars that do very well with stock v6 front springs and v8 rear get a good 50 50 rear shock. and 90.10 front strut. then hit the tire hard. the car will work like crazy. and works 99% of the time. unless the track is really hot or just crap.
