Question about the pro-kit

Does the Pro-kit offer anything as far as spring rate or is it just lowering. I know the sportlines are a stiffer spring etc. But I've heard the pro-kit retains the stock spring rate.


The only reason I'm asking is because of hearing that the Spohn tubular arms drop your car about a 1.5 inches (sometimes) if this be the case, running a pro-kit could you just use new stock front coils? J/W

There spring perches must be set lowerer then stock if that is the case. I would think they would keep the car at what ever height it was before the stock arms were removed?

If that is the case I would recommend possible a coil over kit.

There were many sring rates offered over the years on these cars but the pro kit should have a higher rate than any of the years. Not only that but they will be new and will have their advertised rating out of the box. Old springs won't do this.
