Moser 9"

I just installed my Moser 9". Wanted to know if anyone has had a problem with the car sitting about 3/4 to 1 inch higher with the rear end swap.

I am wondering if the spring mounts are higher and causing the change.

I have checked my control arms, panhard rod, torque arm and shocks for binding. They have all been torqued with the suspension preloaded as to factory specs.

I am running Eibach Pro rear springs.

I have driven it for about 2 days, but it has only been about 60 miles though. I will drive it more tomorrow.

Let you guys know.

My car sat higher by about an inch or so I took out my upper isolater's and it dropped it back down to where I had it. I might do the heater hose mod to the springs.

Was the car any louder without the isolators. I was thinking of doing the same thing. Since the car has about 100 miles on it and has not come down.

I was told if you cut one coil out and put the isolators back in it will sit level. I did the heaterhose mod and its a shade lower in the rear with my 9"

After settling as much as i think it is going to go its about 5/8 inch higher than before. I might just leave it not sure. I guess I just loved the way it looked before.

I will try removing the isolator this weekend and let you guys know. I will aslo shoot some pics.

Mine did the same thing - I thought I was imagining things - well, now I know - I think I will cut a coil out and get it back down where it should be.

Yes, it was obvious to me that the car raised up a little bit.
