Need Rear Spring. What/Where to get.
Trading my ground control setup for a Spohn coilover setup. What should i do for rear springs? Where can i just get rear ones and what size or what not to have the car 1.5" or maybe a little more. Thanks

Why the switch? I can think of a few reasons why I like the ground control setup better.
IIRC, people were having problems with the shock bottoming out on the spohn setup on cars that weren't even that low.

Well the Spohn K member and A-Arms make it a PITA to make it go in. Plus a guy wanted to swap so... if i dont like it I'll just put normal springs back on it and call it a day. Wonder why the shock would bottom out...

With that said I did not have any trouble installing GC weight jacks on my Spohn k-member and a-arms.
As for your original questions. SSS makes the pigtail rear springs in a variety of sizes and spring rates. I use a 10" spring along with the stock isolators and GC weight jacks. If you are not using the rear adjusters and want a 1.5" drop, I would try the 11" springs with the isolators.
