Default any way of raising my rear a lil bit?

i have the LG springs on my 02 Z and the rear seems to be sagging a lil bit especially when i have a passenger in the car (in the passenger seat, i wouldnt dare put anyone in the back). any easy way of raising the rear? or any where i can buy weight jacks to lift the rear up a lil bit?

I guess you could add something to the rubber spring isolator to gain height.

See my sig for the part name (Air Lift), call and order from Strano - less than $100 and did the trick. Additionally, you can pump them up a lot for better launches. Don't leave it though, rides like an old truck when you do.

I would get some heater hose, or some hose from when you removed your AIR system from the engine bay, and put it between the rubber isolator and the spring. That would give you more lift.

I installed the GC (Ground Control) perches along w/3rd gen Koni shocks, and seems to work just fine. Rubber inserts will work, but will wear out over time. Nice thing about the GC's and Koni's are that BOTH are adjustable.

I believe I have a pic in my gallery on this board
