for those with drag springs

DILO2001GT · August 17th, 2006, 11:43 PM

i have installed the rears and the drivers side rear is lower than the passenger side and thats without the air as well as the air in the airbag. is that the same on you guys' cars that have these springs. like it looks like the drivers side has a lowering springs in it and the other side is about 3/4 of an inch off. its really noticeable and they are installed the right way. took it to a garage and the guy said they are fine that it was the airbag so let it all out and now a week later and it still sits pretty high on that side. any ideas?

also is there a left and a right spring or does it matter. i think if i switch the springs and the passenger side does what the drivers side is doing i can just pump up the airbag and level it off. am i on the right path? lol

i never had a [problem with that. mine sat level when i first put them on and now my car sits a litlle lower on the right rear passenger side.

could it be because i have yet to install the front springs? i only installed the rears when i did the ca's and shocks. so i only have the rears in and a few ppl told me that the fronts being put in might do the trick. what do ya think?

Most drag springs are side specific in the rear. One is stiffer than the other. Personally I wouldn't use them. I've found better luck in stock GT springs. Lowering springs in the rear work good too in a stock suspension car because they are usually a stiffer rate which puts more force on the rear tires.

the airbag is suppose to go in the passenger side right?

hmm i haven't put the front springs in yet so maybe that could be it but i don't know why my drivers side sits over an inch lower than the passenger side. could the lift from the front springs settle it down?b
