Default Ride height after 12Bolt??

Just wondering what the difference in ride height is after you install a 12 bolt, I have only seen one car with the stock springs and it looked a bit higher as the spring seats are on the axle tubes and the tubes are bigger.

Wondering what springs or mods to stock springs will get it back to stock height, I cant really afford to go much lower because I have a rear mount turbo on the car.

Doing the hose mod on stock springs should make it about right....my guess.

Alright, I looked through the FAQ, and I did a few searches, what is the hose mod?

Replacing the rubber spring isolator with a piece of hose.

It will drop the rearend about 0.5-0.75"...which is about how much the 12 bolt will probably raise it.

This is what I would recommend also...simple and inexpensive
