Default Using 300lbs front springs, inside!
Just wondering, what your running for a rear spring, if your running a 300lbs front spring?(QA1 sing. adj.) How's the ride height compared to factory,etc.

I'm just using the stock springs in the rear without the rubber spacers, you can adjust the front ride height with the QA1s..

Remove the Isolator and slide a rubber hose on the first coil of the spring. Lowers the car about an inch

I use a eibach prokit rear spring with the qa1 fronts , works good and sits just a bit lower than stock with a moser 12bolt.

Pretty good still, converted to a built M6, McLeod ST clutch, and finally gettin' deep, in the suspension. Changing some things around, basically. I just wasn't sure how to "apply" the hose mod, so...
