QUOTE(soulshadow @ Jun 25, 2006 - 5:28 AM) [snapback]448632[/snapback] The front will always be lower than the back, because the back hardly weighs anything. Plus some springs actually lower the front more than the back. IF you jack the front you will notice that its super heavy if you jack the back its super light. Hence put more air into the front and less in the back for tires. Spring manufacturers take this into account and develop products with different front and rear spring rates. I know exactly what you're talking about and had the same problem. Time didn't seem to help, so my good friend Mr. Sawsall and I went to work, cutting a coil off of each of the front springs to make the car sit even. Now I'm very happy with the drop...and cutting off an extra coil didn't seem to affect handling all that much. ![]() Here's one side done and the other side untouched:
