After a year of riding with a 2 inch drop I decided to put my factory WS6 springs back in my car. Something is wrong! I have about 5.5 inches of space between my fender and tire. This is not right! The springs are indexed properly and went in with relative ease. I have put RS springs in other cars and not had any problems. I know the car is supposed to settle after spring swaps, but this is ridiculous. The Intrax springs did not do this so it must be something with the springs. Any help is appreciated.

 

make sure they are seated in the k-member pocket correctly, at the top.

 

Yep thats what happened when I had the front end rebuilt on my car, go back in and get the spring seated properly and it'll be fine. Thought maybe a few speed bumps might help drop mine back in place but it didn't work.

 

I'll try that this weekend and hope for the best. I may have them in a little off at the top. I hope it fixes my baja racer ride height.

 

I reseated the springs. They weren't all the way in the pockets. I feel so stupid! They still haven't settled enough. Are there any tricks for getting the springs to settle? I have tried bouncing the car, railroad crossings, and bumpy roads. I don't know what else to try.

 

I believe only new springs settle, and not much at that.

 

Did you remove weight since the last time you had the WS6 springs in? My car sits really high with stock springs in it because of the lower weight.

 

Yeah my car was the same way after I changed the trans and pulled the AIR. But when I put the DZ springs in it didnt really drop anymore. So ill be cutting a coil or so off soon as they have been in the car for a few weeks now

 

I swapped to an LT1, but there can not be that much weight difference. I really do not want to cut springs, but I also don't enjoy my car riding nose high.
