Did you remove the coil spring isolator, because your rear sits nice. (no homosexual jokes please)

I tried it first by removing the isolator and it just didn't lower it enough for me so I ended up cuting the rear springs. I have had NO negative effects on ride or anything. The car was just sitting way too high in the rear. On my car it only lowered it a half inch. They guy that installed mine installed sets on two seperate TA's and they sat perfect. I ordered mine after seeing them and it sat so high that it looked abnormal. I called DMS and they said that they had some bad springs so they sent me some new rear ones and they still were the same. I talked to them again and they said that they had just changed the sping rates and that how it would sit, so I really didn't have a choice. If you look at the photos on their site, the first cars listed sit perfect, then the cars towards the end, sit higher in the rear, I don't know why they would have changed them.

i JUST installed the dms springs yesterday.. OMG what a HOT DROP!

and I am on STOCK POS shocks and it handles pretty well. Remember stock shocks with NO sway bar in the front.

Time to turn up the force on the suspension.

P.S. Car is STILL for sale boys and girls.

Do the front springs look right? I thought the DMS were progressive, but those fronts look linear.



This is the pic from DMS.


Did DMS change there springs?
