#3988, "how much rear drop with the prokit??"


          

because I'm getting like a 2-3" rear drop. the front sits right about where it should, but the ass is way low. Is it possible that I've got a prokit for a GSX? becuase it seemed like the springs were just too short to begin with. they weren't cut...

any ideas?

yeah sounds like the springs are too weak.. might as well try the gsx ones, they might be a bit stronger and avoid sag.

well, my thought was that I actually have the gsx rears....

because the rears are stiffer than the fronts(I have to turn up the rear shocks more than the fronts to keep her from bouncin)

and I believe the GSX has less travel in the rear and thus, requiring a shorter spring. but I've never taken a gsx apart so I'm not sure....

I've got the GS, so my lower arms already were ready for swaybars. all I did back there was add the RMDSM bar.

but think of it this way....

you've got the sportlines, and 17s....

I've got a prokit, and stock 16s, and my ass sits lower than yours does in that picture. my stockers fill up the fenderwell right now....

the only weight back there is the battery and an amp.... no spare/jack/interior panels/no subs....
