what springs for my heavy vert My car weighs 3910 with me in it...get my wife and daughter in there and it is on up there in weight. The ride height is "ok" but it bottoms out pretty easily like the springs are weak. Is there a stiffer spring or something i could use to prevent this? It already rides like *** so thats not an issue....do they make a progressive spring thats stronger but not lower? This is a 00 ws6 vert but dunno if it has the correct springs...they are stock gm springs but dunno if they are original. Thanks for any help

Not too many stock-height options out there but you
could consider the air shock route. I like 'em fine on
mine. Just don't let the old lady see you airing up the
back every time she's gonna ride with you or it'll be

Sound like you're in my ballpark.....4050 w/driver/7/8 tank of fuel
Determine your axle weights and contact Sam Strano....but he advised 175# rear springs for my car since it is 1.5 - 1.75" lower than my front.
I ended up w/perches/koni's and heavier springs. I originally had the lowered suspension package from SLP (bilsteins and eibachs)
If you see my cardomain webpage, you'll understand why
