Will my springs fall out?
Hey guys,
Did I get your attension with that subject? haha
Anyway, I put new rear shocks in my RS last weekend. The car rides better, but I am a little worried. The new shocks were longer than the old ones. If Im correct, the shocks limit how far down the rear axle can go. If these shocks let the rear move down too much on heavy bumps, couldnt my coil springs fall out? If I jack up the rear of the car on the chasis to where the wheels are off the ground, the springs are loose enough that I can move them with my hand! Should I be worried? I am thinking of just getting new rear shocks.

I would say pix size, its about 38k in size, but BIG.
Anyway. I shouldn't be an issue, unless you plan on going airborn.
