The rear end of my car sticks way up in the air because of the wheel gap. (My friend told me my car had a real big a55) It would be great if it were a bit lower but not by much. Is there such a thing out there as a set of just rear springs that would take the rear down about an inch without stiffening the ride at all? I like the ride just the way it is but want the rear a bit lower.

I've read up on the BMR springs but it is purchased as a set of 4 and even the lighter version drops the car too far for my purposes. Thanks for any help of suggestions.

many places will sell just the rear springs, and many people have done this. you might need to call the manufacturers directly to get only the rears, but it will save you some coin.

I've got Steeda's all the way around and would like to replace the rears with Eibachs. I'd like to know where I can get just rears too.

You can get rear only from Roush, that is what I did

Dear Bluecar,

Sorry to "barge in to the conversation" but I replaced my rear springs with the Roush Rear Springs Only...

Got rid of the wheel gap nicely!!!

Just installed the Roush rear lowering springs. Little firmer ride, but still nice.

My springs should arrive early next week. I bought the H&R so I'm eating the front ones unless someone wants them.

BREDn07, i tried posting using your method and couldn't get anything either. If any one of us figures it out, please one of us tell the other.

Thanks everyone for the pics!!

the best way to post larger pics is to use a photohosting site such as www.photobucket.com. use the

code provided on the site, and copy/paste it into your reply.

Necessary to align rear?

I had WheelWorks do my springs. They're good but they take every opportunity sell you whatever the car needs. No rear alignment. They say if I decide to do the front, then a front alignment will be necessary.
