Suspension & Ride Height

86GT · 07-10-2002, 12:39 PM

I recently put in my MAC adj uppers and lower control arms with Lakewood 50/50's, and Eibach drag springs. Trouble is that it sits lower than it used to when I had the sagging stock components in there. Is the any way I can get this car to sit higher in the back again? Turning the springs? Different control arms with adjusters? Any help is appreciated!

You have a few options:

1) Get different springs that do not lower the car.

2) Buy some spring spacers- I know Global West makes these... they look like little aluminum hats that fit over the existing spring perch. (Probably the cheapest option)

3) Different control arms- Maxiumum Motorsports makes a real nice set of adjustables... I HIGHLY recommend you look at these, especially because they would allow you to clear larger slicks. (Probably the most expensive option, but it will yield better results IMHO)

Good luck!
