I just picked up a set of new/unused Wolfe Racecraft rear spring perches from a local guy that ended up not using them. Always thought it would be nice to have the rear adjustability for height. They came with 12" 170lb springs but I think these might be too tall for a 4th gen.?

So, who's running them and what spring height/rate are you using? Also, did you mount the perches up top or to the rearend? Any advantage or disadvantage for top vs bottom mount?

i run them 10 inch spring 150# on 2002 z28 you could probably run 12 inch but bet the adjuster would be bottomed out to make it sit right.

i cut my bump stops out also. imagine it would suck to weld them in with the bump stop and the metal around them there.

Did you mount yours to the top or to the rearend? My bump stops have been cut out for a long time.

Hey guys, I had them setup but hadnt run them. I didnt like them atall, They require alot of trimming to get them in the right position. Be carfull with the spring allignment!

i put mine on the rear end to make adjusting easier, but I run the 8" springs 150lbs, and right now almost got them as low as they will go.... love the stance.

Stock sryle suspension? Any issues with suspension movement or torque arm hitting tunnel being that low?

12" 170 lb is to much spring with those adjusters. 130 lb or 140 lb x 12" spring would be a good place to start with those adjusters.

I custom made my set-up that is adjusted from inside the car.

I checked out your build thread. You've done alot of work to that car. I'm prolly gonna go with a 10" 150lb spring but might go with an 8" depending on Charlies answer to my question above. Mines pretty low in the back already and I'd like to keep that stance. The top of the fender is just about even with the top of a 28"x10.50 slick.

I can't comment on the install because Madman put mine in, but they are awsome! I'm tucking a 28" radial about 1/2".

Pics of said tire tucking please?


Also, has anyone scaled their cars with the adjustable springs in the rear? I'd imagine having adjustable spring heights at all four corners would make tweaking corner weights a lot easier.
