This is when people take out the rubber upper rear spring mounts/locators, and put heater hose (forgot diameter) over the upper coils in an effort to lower the car with stock height springs.

It only applies to the rear springs, and it only lowers you about 1/2"-3/4".

If you search the Suspension section, you'll find some pics. I know there was a thread within the last month
