Want it lower in the rear Recently swapped in a Moser 12 bolt in my 02 Z28 and it raised the rear.
I have stock shocks and springs in the rear with BMR suspension pieces.
I heard this is caused by the spring perches being slightly different.
It makes my 275-40-17 look Like 225's on 15's.
What's the easiest fix?
Cutting the stock coils?
Swapping the rear shocks and springs? I feel with this even if I install a good lowering spring it still won't be low enough and I would still have to cut them.
I know coil overs would be the way to go but I don't really want to drop the $.

You could cut the stock springs, but I'd opt to put in lowering springs. Have you looked into the Viking Coilovers? They are a great budget friendly coilover and are really good quality. You would have infinite ride height ability with them.

Literally just cutting or sliding on some heater hose over the spring and removing the isolator. Not a fan of that but would like to lower the rear a bit, it's 1.25" higher than the front after I put the 9" in which looks like ****. Anyone know of an aftermarket isolator that would lower the rear? Be nice if companys that sold aftermarket rear ends would offer something like this to offset the higher perch.

Decided to cut my factory rear coils for now and it looks much better!
I'm thinking adjustable coil overs in the rear eventually and just upgraded front struts with a pair of front lowering springs.

Verdad Gallardo No need to cut, found a isolator that lowers and not a lot of money. Much better than the ghetto heater hose I feel.
