hmmmm you sure the rear is on S-Techs too? That looks like stock height and is different than s-tech drops on other MSPs...somethings up...

and please get the rear dropped. riding on s-techs?

yeah. i dunno what to replace them with..

or as Shadow102 and I were discussing...perhaps you've got P5 S-techs on there....

 

[Shadow102]

yeah I was told to get s-techs for mine....after seeing that pic...no thanks, I'll wait till I can afford BCs

Something doesn't seem right that's a lot of gap for s-techs in the rear...maybe they are p5 s-techs?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

maybe mine are sagging, but my rear stocks are nowhere NEAR that high...

Now I know when I got Andrew to help with my struts, it appeared that I had stock springs but after seeing so many folks with MSP's and their keister's are sticking way up in the air, it leads me to believe that either:

A. I actually have aftermarket rear springs.
B. They're just so old and so used that they're just sagging.

However, I don't believe they are sagging because when I take turns, hit bumps, or generally just drive, the rear doesn't seem like it hops at all. Can anyone tell from this pic if I am correct or just seeing things?

thats basically EXACTLY what my car looked like before I put the spools in the front, which evened out the fender gap almost exactly.

My car sits like that on stock struts/springs with almost 80000 miles on them. The rear has progressively, but very slowly, gotten lower as the springs age.

Can't you just look at the springs? The stockers are red correct?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

yeah, but so are sportlines....

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Ah, well fatti mentioned tiens which are green (thumb)

Your on stock springs dale. Also the reason your rear sits so low is because your on different struts. The lower spring mount on the msp struts sits higher which means the spring is shorter. When you put it on aftermarket shocks it drops the rear.
