If I'm deciphering your sms speak and typos correctly, you want to lower the rear a bit more?

You might try cutting half a coil off your rear springs.

No doubt you'd want to find out the legality of such a modification but that will certainly lower the rear a bit.

are you drunk or just a bad typer?



ANYWAY, cutting springs is illegal and not ideal. you can trim the bumpstops around. if you want lower, King Springs make a SSL or Super Super low spring, also known as Ultra lows.

OR you can get your rear springs compressed to be lower.

those are your options available

According to Kings the SSLs aren't street legal. They say they are for "exhibition" cars.

I know people stick them on anyway, but it sounds like a good way to either get your car defected, or have the insurance company bail if you need them.

Pretty sure the same legal problems would arise from having SLs compressed.

Besides which, imagine how bad the ride would be.

are SL's legal?
