Not a big deal, but I`m wondering if anyone has an idea on this...


I`ve pulled weight out of my car:
1. pc680 battery
2. UR flywheel
3 Track rims
4. spare and jack
5. Ti single exhaust
-----------
-150lbs total

I`m happy with the results performance-wise, but the rear end seems to have risen a bit due to roughly 80 - 90lbs less weight from the axle back. No surprise there.

My rear tires are about 5/32, so the gap on the rears is a bit more pronounced on top of the lighter butt. So, I`m wondering about a gap-reduction. As it stands now I have an inch or a a bit more of gap in the front (with newer tires) and a full 2 inches or a tiny bit more in the rear.

I just received my TVS kit from Hotchkis, which luckily means the rear will be dropped a bit more than the front.

Question: Is there any way to ``settle`` the rear springs a bit more than the fronts? Perhaps sleep in the hatch for a couple nights?
Are there any other `tricks` to achieving more balance front-rear?
The weight will not be going back in, BTW.

I know the car will look good after the Hotchkis install - as it does now in a potato-digger kinda way.

Thanks!

 

You would need adjustable spring perches to lower the car.

 

You can adjust rear height by modifying the rear upper spring seats and adjust with self made lexan shims, or coil spring pads from energy suspension up to -.8"
