Sagging? I measured the ground to wheel well today and the passenger side of the car sits about 1 inch lower than the driver. What gives?
Next ? Is about what kind of spring/ shock combo I should do... I am building a drag car with some streetability but not a whole lot... I see everyone talking about the qa1... Is that all around? Also what springs should go with those? Does lowering help in drag at all?
Sorry I have no idea about suspension so I'm looking at all the opinions that you guys have. Thanks

With higher mileage, comes a breakdown in suspension components. BMR springs are cold wound on a CNC Coiling Machine. The CNC coiling head can adjust the spring diameter in real time to ensure that every spring is the same as the other springs. This guarantees that your right spring matches your left spring!!
Every BMR spring is compressed solid at the factory. Not once, but twice. This gives the spring its permanent set...and guarantees NO SAG. This allows BMR to offer a lifetime warranty against spring sag.
As for the rearend sitting lower on one side, this will normally happen if a car is lowered - or in your case, has sagging springs - due to the panhard rod system used to locate the rearend. It functions on a pivot point, therefore the rearend will sit further to one side or lower unless it is properly relocated. Our adjustable panhard bar was designed for this.
