Default Car sits lower in the back than the front

Got my T/A. I've noticed that the car sits lower in the back slightly than it does in the front. Car does have a Moser 12 bolt with Spohn LCAs if that makes any difference. Never had any experience with an F Body with an aftermarket rear.

Question, is there any springs I can buy for the front that can even it out?

How much lower? If it is 1/2" or so, it's going to be hard finding a spring like that. We offer 1.25" lowering springs that you can buy in pairs and I think you can also buy 1" springs from some forum sponsors.

I have never heard of a Moser rear lowering the car (raising it, yes) so I don't think that's your problem....

The previous owner of my Camaro installed a Moser 12 bolt & my car is lower in the rear. I was test fitting some wheels & noticed they neglected to reinstall the rubber isolators. Maybe you have the same problem.

Good call, that would do it....

Thanks, I'll have to look into that.

I've thought about buying just the front pair of lowering springs & calling it good, but I don't know if it will handle weird or not.

Handling is not going to be perfect (not a matched set front and rear) but you are not going to crash your car because of it either

i have the same problem and need to raise the rear end by about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch.

thinking about hard rubber between the isolator and the spring pocket.
