You could have used Rouch rear springs only to level the car.
The Steeda spring usually lower what they advertise.

Steeda Ultralite Spring Install
So I just installed the Steeda Hop Pak and rear Ultralite Springs. Drop for rear springs is listed at 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" (depending on which Steeda web page you view). Rear fender heights before and after install is 29-1/4" down to 28-1/2", which is only a 3/4" drop. The question is why? I was hoping to get what Steeda promotes which is about 1/4" less rake with these springs. The car is level now, I'm afraid if I install the front springs now and they result in the advertised 1" drop I'll end up with more rake than I started with. Any thoughts?
BTW, the LCA and UCA are awesome, big difference. Didn't realize just how much wheel hop I had until its completely gone. Nice improvement in feel and control. Last 60' average times at Darlington were a discourraging 2.2-2.3 seconds. Hoping this helps next time out.

That's odd. Mine dropped the advertised 1.25".
Ya, agreed on the Roush rears, I considered that then decided to go with a moderate lowering all around with some reduction in rake. I guess I'll need to go back under and maybe lossen the LCA and/or panhard bar under load and make sure nothing is binding that would keep the car from settling. Maybe check that the springs are seated properly???
Don't forget that springs take a week or so to completely settle.
So stlwagon, you have the Ultralites also then. Are the camber bolts all you did for the front installs. And also, my rear end is already out 1/4" and will increase as springs settle more now which means adjustable PH bar expense. Just curious which bar you might have. I'm leaning BMR.....
BMR makes a nice bar. I went with a Steeda bar.Just curious which bar you might have. I'm leaning BMR.....
I have camber plates on the front. I run a Steeda adjustable panhard bar.So stlwagon, you have the Ultralites also then. Are the camber bolts all you did for the front installs.
