Why does my car sit so high?

[mdnitedrftr]

I have H&R springs (the black ones) and comparing pics to ones in the spring thread, my car sits pretty high. What gives?

The front upper iso bushings are removed too.

What suspesnsion mods do you have?

 

[scarface]

you have H&R race spings... it sits the way it should with those springs. You want lower, go to the SS.

Besides the H&R's, I have Tokico 5-ways, and Hotchkis LCA's....thats it, well and a Steeda sway bar, but that wouldnt effect height.

Im trying to avoid buying another set of springs the best I can, just because theres other places Id like to put that money. Would removing the rest of the bushings be a wise move?

Are your shocks/struts for an SN95 or a Foxbody?

 

[Fets]

Yeah you got the race springs like Dave said. Take out the ISOs?

you could get like a 1/2 inch more out of some fox

 

[mdnitedrftr]

The shocks are for a fox body.

Steeda X2 balljoints will give you like a 1/4" drop or so.

what size tire do you have?

If installed without the spacers.

that explains why my car sits relatively high for what it is. Damn that sucks.. i thought i had SS's, well back to the drawing board :nonono:

 

[scarface]

cut off a coil all the way around.

SS springs would be blue FTR.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

and super race H&R's are white. imp:

No....don't do that.

I did that with my last car and the ride was 10 times worse. Come to find out, I talked to my buddy who works for Maximum Motorsports..he said that is the worse thing I could ever do.

It works for me, and my car rode just fine. I just cut off a dead coil. There is a difference in cutting the coils off a progressive rate spring and a linear spring.

 

[Steven]

well i figure hell i'll just go with a set of coil overs instead, say f' it and skip the middle man.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Yeah there's a huge difference between cutting dead coils and cutting the progressive rate coils. The dead coils are just to fill the space so cutting them won't change ride quality.

what size tire do you have?

255/45 and 315/35


How long does it usually take for springs to settle? I installed them back in like Feb I wanna say, but didnt actually start driving around with them until this past week. Maybe I should wait a little bit and hope they drop some more? :dunno:
