Does any one have try shiming the back coils to raise it a bit?

If yes,what did you use?

my GT has 1.5" lowering springs in the back and stock springs in the front, so the front sits higher...I think it looks kinda cool...looks like i'm launching :spot:

It was that way when I bought it...
 
Your local parts store will carry little booster blocks that can raise the springs, the problem is that the blocks cause the coils to bind sooner making the ride quality worse, and sometimes the blocks shift a little making an annoying clicking noise ..... best bet is to buy progressive springs that will level it out.
 
Don't use the coil spacers - they totally screw the spring function. The Convertibles sit a little higher in the front from the factory. It is great for weight transfer when your racing.
 
Why would u want to raise the rear end up, are we planning on 4x4??? DO it the right way, invest in some springs. If you say you cant afford springs, then u shouldnt have performed the weight mods without willing to accept the consequence.
 
Dude, are you a little on the slow side. First, the car looks like crap not cool that way. Secondly, you answered your own question by saying it has stock springs in the front but lowers in the back. Get some fronts and end it. Also, adjustable lowers have nothing to do with the ride height. Stop fooling yourself and get it fixed!!
 
Just cut one full coil off the front springs and it will be level again, did that to my vert to lower it with out spending 300-500 for springs.
The car handels better lowwerd but speed bumps suck :nonono: , oh well its not like its a off road car anyway :p
