Default I'm removing my 2" Drop...

I decided that whenever i go home for the winter break, ima remove the springs and put my old ones back in. I wanna be able to run 10.5's out back eventually and this drop wont allow that. A/C Will go in and ima try my BEST to fix the oil pan leak.

because the springs i have right now arnt that great, and they would rub on my tires. Also, im not sure if i like the look anymore. Im tired of there being issues with my car. When i bought the thing it had three issues: Bad starter, manifold leak, and the AC didnt work. Instead of fixing that stuff i modded the hell out of it and now i kinda regret touching the car. Just seems to be one thing after another.... I wanna return it to stock ride height because im also tired of not being able to go over speed bumps.

What kind of springs are you running? I think I am gonna go with Suspension Techniques 1.3" advertised drop springs, but it seems as though everyone ends up with about 1.75" or so. That's where I'd like to be.

if you lift your car back up, make sure you get your alignment checked
