Springs and ride height
 
Just got rear end rebuilt and all new control arm bushings in
and new Eibach rear springs. Ride isgreat now no more bottoming out sounds, rear body is a little higher with new springs b,y a 1/2 adj.bolts don't seem to make much difference any advise on how to get rear a little lower? Just looking and measure. rear I about 3 inches higher than. front I meant to say rear springs are half inch taller than. original thanks Bulldog

Don't do anything until you've driven the car at least a hundred miles or so. They will settle. Maybe not enough, but you have to wait and see.:cool:

Thanks Patrick will do!

Agree with springs settling in. Then to be fancy, measure with driver in seat and gas at established level. You may be surprised how much 300 lbs. can effect the final settings.

Did it settle? Or did you find a way to adjust the ride height?
Cheers

I got a question in the same area. I purchased the coil-over suspense setup from CR-II in 2006 (I think), kit is from 1991! When I installed the coil-overs it had 355 SBC iron heads/block and 700R-4. The ride and handling was good! Later went to SBC 388 with aluminum heads, still good! Awhile back I went to all aluminum LS-3 and T-56 S/M, the front is a bit higher but really STIFF!

I seem to remember the coil-overs were QA1? The shocks and front springs are not-adjustable. Anyone have any information on the coil-over kits from that time period?

Thanks, Al

I have QA1 single adjustable on my car, albeit a WCC car, not CR. Regardless, if I were to do it again I'd probably go with Viking - they give you double adjustable shocks and coilovers for about the same price as QA1's single adjustable.

Both of them have good technical support that will make recommendations as to the most appropriate products for your application.
