hey 
Hose mod?
Hose mod? Im wanting to use my stock spring but still lower the car an inch. I;ve heard of a "hose" mod that gives me this effect. anyone have a write up on how to do this? What do i sacrifice with this mod?
i have done this mod,remove the spring and pull the rubber spring pad out get about 5" of 5/8 HD heater hose slide onto a coil and reinstal.
i do not think it is quite a full inch of drop.
my car rides the same(the spring height is not altered)but it does set the body down a bit.

heater hose mod. you take the spring perches off the top of the rear springs and slide a piece of heater hose around the top coil so it provides a soft "insulation" between the body and the spring. you'll drop about 3/4"-1" after it.
