    Question Lowering springs...

    I installed a set of Jamex 2" lowering springs on my car last week and i gotz a question about the rear... The front of my car seems to be dropped 2" but the rear looks like it only dropped about 1 1/4"-1 1/2"... What should I do to get the rear even with the front? And why does this happen??

    they should settle a bit, but alot of the time with springs there not even.
    Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.

    Actually that is ok if you decide to put a system in.. with the weight of the sub box it should even out your rears..

    Give them a month or so to settle...

    Other than that, maybe bumpstops?

    If an ITR is sitting on the bumpstops with only a 2" drop, something is seriously wrong with the shocks.

    why would you put such shitty springs in that car? nothing like making it handle worse than stock?

    Did you put the springs in right? There should not be that much of a difference.

    i think there is a chance the springs got mixed up front/back... cuz i just installed eibach's on my car and the drop was a dead even 2" on both the front and back

    1)They were given to me, and I did the R & R myself, so therefore it didn't cost me anything to give 'em a try.
    2)Actually the handling is comparable to stock... The struts in the ITR go good with the lowering springs
    3)Yes I put the springs in right. If I didn't, there'd be more than .5-.75" diff. in height between front and rear.....
    4).5-.75" is not much of a difference, but I'd like it to be even front/rear....

    So I figure I'm just going to cut a coil off the rear springs to remedy my prob.... Worst case I'll have to buy coilovers to get the look I want....
    Thanks guys
