coil over question
My friend had his Cobra rear end jacked up and I noticed his coil springs were hanging loose on his adjustable coil over shocks. The springs were loose and about 1 1/2" below the top mount of the coil over. I think his springs are to short. He claimed he had the correct ride height on his car with this set up.
If you jack the back of the car up and the rear end drops to it lowest point, I think the springs should be in contact with the top and bottom of the coil over mounting points. Not compressed but in contact with the top and bottom.
I'm I correct? Are the springs to short?
