I Was Planning On Lowering The Car But Now I Have Decided To Just Sit The Back Level With The Front. Am I Going To Have To Buy Just Rear Springs Or Is There Another Option? And Does Anyone Have A Soft Spring To Level It And Make It Launch Better Thanks Richie

1) what is the back doing in relation to the front now? On my Camaro, the back sat a bit lower than the front in stock form.

2) what kinda car do you drive? If it's a C5 like your name implies, I've got an easy answer that doesn't require springs.

If you have an fbody, you can just take the rubber issolator out from on top of each rear spring. My 2001 SS had the rear jacked up from the factory also.

I Recentley Traded The C5 For A 2000 Formula Ws6. And The Rear End Sits Up Higher Than The Front. Does Anyone Make Springs For Just The Rear And As I Said Before Maybe A Little Softer For Drag Racing Thanks For The Input.

V6 rear springs from earlier years are supposed to be a bit softer.
You might have to still take out the spacer to drop any. For drag
racing you might not want the drop, at all.

Manufacturer Model Front (lbs/in) Rear (lbs/in) Ride Height Drop (in.)
OEM GM V6 93-97 223 95.4 0.00"
OEM GM V6 98-02 257 114 0.00"
OEM GM V8 93-02 292 114 0.00"

Okay, since it's an F-body, and right now it sits higher in the back, then do what Cal says above. Remove the rubber spacer on top of the stock springs, and replace it with a section of 5/8 heater hose wrapped around the top two coils.

Easiest way to adjust rear height setting is to adjust the pre-load of your rear anti-sway bar. You can do that by shortening (or lengthening) the end link spacer tubing. To raise the rear on the passenger side shorten the drivers side or lengenthen the passenger side spacer.
