Ok, I got the lakewood upper arms, and lower traction action lift bars. I have the factory mach 1 springs in it right now. When I let the car down off the jack, the rear was sitting about 1" lower than before. I like the look, but the front is sitting higher. Now for the part I may get flamed for. I have a set of eibach drag launch springs for the car sitting in my room. I know they will lift the rear up a bit, but I think it is still going to look weird once I get all 4 new springs in the car. Can I cut about 1-1.5 coils off of the front springs to bring it down a bit more. The drag launch springs made my GT sit about the same height in front and the rear about 1/2" lower. So, also considering the mach 1 springs are about 1/2" shorter all the way around than the GT springs, that means my new rear will be sitting about 1/2" lower than stock with the drag launch springs and the front about 1/2" higher than stock in the front. Can I cut the coils on the front springs to bring it level or even give it a bit of a racked look. This is a linear spring in the front, so changing the rate will not be a problem. I also put in the lakewood 90/10's and 50/50's BTW. Coil over's is not in the budget at all. Please help, and btw, does anyone have any experience with the lakewood traction action lift bars? I hear they may accelerate wear on the torque boxes. Is this true? I had best weld them up huh?
Also, this is going on a Mach 1. I have since sold the red one in the sig.
