Default Installed Pro Kit today...HELP

So I installed my Eibach pro kit springs today...the front springs went on KYB AGX adjustable shocks...and the front rides nice....for now, the rear springs are still on the stock shocks...and I did the Hose mod ontop of that....well, my SLP LM1 Is LAYING on my axle. The rear end is like a friggen pogo stick. My exhaust is as high up as it can possibly go, and theirs still a good amount of room between the rear tires and the fender...so, How Do I fix this? BFH mod?

That's how the LS1Eibach prokits ride, like a pogo stick in the rear. I had them on my first 99 Z back in 99 and took them off two days later. Does your exhaust have and adjustable hanger just aft of the PHB?

A few things.

1. You should not run the isolator removed mod on lowering springs

2. The exhaust has to pretty much hit the upper PHB brace before anything else and that relationship does not change with different springs.

3. Your ride is not being helped by the fact you have stock rear shocks (pathetic they are).

im gonna put the rubber isolator back on today...

Their is no adjustable hanger on my exhaust...but Im gonna pull the hanger off, and see if I can push the exhaust forward more about 1/2"...this will give me the axle clearance.
