Re: Rear end sitting low?

If the rears are original, just going with a new factory replacement is going to raise it back up. Moog makes a good one that lots of people are using.

Same can be said for the shock. If they are original, replace them. KYB makes a decent factory replacement or you can step up to some of the other higher end brands like Bilstein or Koni. All depends on how much your wallet can take.

Did you put the insulators back in when you swapped springs? Not knocking your abilities but I have seen it happen to a few on here and other forums.

Re: Rear end sitting low?

Do you mean that it's sitting low compared to factory, or it's just lower than you would like? Moog springs and factory isolators will have it sitting pretty high and it should be as high if not higher than it was when it was brand spanking new. 4th gen rear isolators are thicker and can raise it even higher than stock but I really don't recommend it since that sort of stance is associated with and perpetuates very negative stereotypes about fbodies...

If the rear looks like it is sitting low then I would try a set of 4th gen isolators. I put them in my car and it helped level out the stance. It now has a very gradual rake to it so that it sits nice.

Re: Rear end sitting low?

I got mine at the dealership a few years ago. The guy asked me what year so I just said '98 for whatever reason. Fit perfectly and made the stance perfect. If you go to my profile I think there is a link to my CarDomain or FOAT page that has pics.
