WTF? I don't get this thing/rear suspension Reply #16 – July 09, 2006, 07:03:14 PM QuoteI am almost positive the car hasn't been wrecked. I ran a carfax on it after I bought it and there were no accidents whatsoever on record.doesnt realy mean anything. these cars are so old, i wouldnt trust a car history report on one. also, carfax wouldnt show any accident repairs that someone would have paid for out of pocket.QuoteAlso I'm pretty sure the front isn't causing the problem as I fixed that problem the other day too. Now granted, one spring was broken and I cut the other one, but they were the same height, although I've noticed the passenger side front sits about 1/4" higher than the driver's side- but being that there's such a big difference between the sides in back I'm thinking it's probably the reason for that.yeah, but you cut one of those too. still not fixed correctly. no way to tell weather or not its even part of the issue.QuoteAnyway, four "new" springs? I don't even know where I could get those, plus the SN95 rears I put in were basically "new", I do know they are low mileage as they still look practically new. I guess I could try the preload thing but I kinda doubt it'll do much, personally...arent the turbo coupe and sport springs still available? if not, i bought my bullit/mach1 springs for 460 bucks complete with swaybars and tokiko shocks/struts. not a bad deal. PPI sells the springs alone for like 180. obviously there are other spring options as well. could it be the airbag helpers? have you tried installing 2 matched springs in the rear withought them? was it an issue before you installed them to begin with?

WTF? I don't get this thing/rear suspension Reply #17 – July 09, 2006, 09:40:39 PM Well yeah, I cut one because the other was broken. What was I supposed to do?I tried the bushing thing today, no dice. I did notice that when I had the car up on jackstands(under the axle) with the wheels and tires off, the driver's side spring was more compressed than the passenger side one. I put the other SN95 spring back in the passenger side also.I haven't tried removing the airbags, but being that I can let all the air out of them and the condition still exists, I don't think they're the problem. Honestly the back of the car used to sit so high, if I had this problem before I never noticed it. Now it's low enough that an inch difference is pretty noticeable. Quote Selected

WTF? I don't get this thing/rear suspension Reply #19 – July 10, 2006, 11:25:18 AM I had an issue with uneveness because I didn't consider the locations of the spring tails when I reinstalled them after replacing the lower control arms. I'm sure I'm the only person stupid enough not to put the springs back in the correct orientation, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Quote Selected
WTF?

Can't buy fronts only and I don't want to spend $100+ for a set of springs that I can only use the fronts from. Quote Selected
