at-jefft Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hey, I just finished a suspensions overhaul with new struts and springs. I finally got my Suspension techniques springs and after waiting months I called ST before installing them to make sure I knew which was the rear and which was the front springs. I installed the longer ones in the rear (as ST said) and when I dropped the car off the jack stands the rear is slammed. Lower than the front. I don't have the rear sway bar in will that raise the rear? like 4in? Thanks in advance, Jeff I will take pics tomorrow if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Don't believe the sway bars will lift the rear any. What year z do you have? Could you have mixed up the upper spring perches between the front and the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 If this is an s30 I believe there have been other people with the same problem. I believe 2003z had the same problem with a lower rear end after installing lowering springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowCarbZ Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Mine sits a little uneven as well. Bought the car like that, haven't worried too much about it at the moment. I've replaced a lot of the bushings and such and am currently replacing the rear shocks. I'm planning on replacing all of my suspension in the coming few years so I haven't bothered toying with it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
