i'm considering buying some lightly used aftermarket lowering springs, but the seller says that the rear springs would pop out of place if the rear of the car was lifted up. he says he was running a 4th gen rear if that makes a difference. is this a common problem, because i've never heard of this happening?

also do any companys make sfcs for factory dual cat cars?

 

The rear springs will essentially fall out if the car is raised and the rear end dropped a bit. No doubt have to unbolt the shocks for this to happen.

If you are lower enough, with higher rate springs. I can change rear springs, without unbolting the shocks, just lift it up, and pull the springs. Now, it is pretty hard for the springs to actualy "fall out" due to the shape of the spring pockets. If you are REALLY worried about it, zip tie the springs to the rear axle, or install limiting straps.

 

thanks for the quick replies guys. so essentially this isnt a problem i should be worried about and have no fear in buying the springs?
