My spring issue with PICS Well ever since that I have done my 9" rear probally not related since it is sprung weight. There has been a BANG BANG BANG going over small bumps. The car was on the rolling lift and this is what was found. WTF Spring Sag? All but one coil is compressed.

maybe its the camera angle, but they don't look like they're seated in those pictures. also, are the earlier fbody pro-kit springs red or something?
either way i can tell you that even if you did have bumpstops with a stock rear, they would be only thing keeping those springs from looking like that. eibach rear springs are pure crap.

I agree they don't look seated, but I am going to guess that it is just the angle since even if they weren't seated I don't see how it would do that to the spring. The LS1 pro kits are notorious for not being very good. The fronts are fine but the rears are terrible. I would either A.) upgrade to Stranos or B.) get some used rears from an LT1 Pro Kit if you need a quick fix on the cheap.

You talking "Pro-Kit" or "Sportlines"?? My Pro-Kit springs are 15 years old, and don't look like that! Also, my Pro-Kits are grey, not red.....
