#7075, "Opinions on this spring set up?"


          

Well i'v been contemplating the prokits, but have been doing a lot of reading oh here that the front and rear will not be at the same hight. My idea would be this, altough not very economic.. How about putting the sportlines or maybe the prokits on the front, and use some coilovers on the rear, since the front with coilovers make the most noise, right? How do you guys think this will work? I think it would be good to the point of being able to raise and lower the rear for some racing to get better weight dist for better traction. Also, you can lower it to match the front equally. So what do you guys think? Anyone done this yet? TIA emoji

the problem is that the front doesnt go low enough to match the rear...if you put coilovers on the rear you would have to raise them to match the front height, not vice versa. so in order to keep it even you would need the coilovers on front so you could lower it to match the rear...otherwise, your best bet is to lower the front with sportlines or pro kits and keep the rear at stock height and just swap the struts for adjustables. but you would only have a slight drop. i would put sportlines on the rear and and put cut sportlines on the front to even it out. youll only need to remove about 2 coils to do this anyway.

Yeah i guess that's what i meant, being the rear sits lower than the front, at least with the prokits anyway. My thought was to even it out, put the coilovers on the rear to be able to match any hight difference, and also be able to raise it up for racing time. Am i making any sense here? emoji Or am i not getting somehtin right? I don't know!
