Default Stiffer rear suspension

I have goldline springs in the back, they are VERY stiff, but when I give it gas I can bottom out the back of the car pretty easly... I got some serious power being made under the hood so this was expected.. is there any way to make the rear stiffer? Maybe those airbags for drag racing? It is rediculus!

You could upgrade the rear sway bar if you haven't already.

What shocks are you running? Sounds like the front isn't offering you much rebound control and the rear needs more compression control.

hpjunky98 is correct you need a shock with more compression control, and yes a sway bar designed for drag will help also but! start with the air bags in the rear springs, kits only about 69.00 for both and it comes with lines and fitting so you can plumb them separate and adjust pre-load to right side for when you go to the strip. Or when you go on a trip some where and have to load up the car with luggage you can put more air in them and the rear will stay level and don't bottom out. for just normal driving around I put 5 PSI in them and it don't change the height or ride.

Brian, you definitely need some good rear shocks and a good anti roll bar. We have strange and qa1 single and double adjustable shocks for your car. We also have an excellent rear bar. I'll post you a link to the parts and some pictures. If you have any questions please give us a call.

The goldline springs I have are in the front and back, and the blue tokiko shocks in the front and back! I will try the airbags first, but man, its CRAZY. I mean I can bottom the **** outa my car without even hitting the nitro!
