A small fortune on the wedding....and a dead pig with an apple in it's mouth, lol. I will mention, my wife is worth every penny we spent on the wedding. My wife's Mom bought the car brand new. Single family owned. lemmie see if I can find a pic....  ^^no cargo springs and blown out factory load levelers. compare ride height here:  BTW Mark, that's your old Buick in front of the Red one. and here:  one the rear 'skirt' came up from just above the hubcap, to over the white line on the whitewall or about 2.5 - 3 inches, very noticible change.

| I like that. I think my car's rear sits too low, and it sits crooked, so my rear springs are definitely on their way out/past their prime (control arms and shocks are brand new, so...)
Ordering.... |

| Sprocket,
Yours was really sitting low before. Mine measures 21.5" from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well. Would you mind measuring yours with new springs, unloaded? Thanks.

Ordering.... When the car is at ride heigth, loosen the ends of the control arms, bounce the car up and down a couple of times, and retighten at ride heigth. do the front as well. It should cure the crookedness. | |

| The Starship has a 1 inch list, and I found out it had a bent sway bar. Replaced the sway bar and it now sits level. I also made sure I tightened all the arm mounts at ride heigth. | |

| It has nothing to do with me peddling something. Just experience with the suspension. | |

Ordering.... run your finger inside the front spring pocket where the bottom of the front shocks are, check for a broken front spring. Nick | |
