anyone ever have problems with rear c. springs sagging?
the back of my car seems to sag a little bit..and when i hit a bump , sometimes it kinda feels the car jolts sideways..i just replaced the struts in the back....any clue as to why the car is doing that?

Yeah my 88le seems to sit a bit low in the rear. I've had people ask what the hell do you have in your trunk? Even with the struts brand new it was that way. Nice think I have a trailer package on the back cause it always scrapes when I go into sharp angle driveways and the such.

I've got F41 susp. too, but my rear-end is 2" lower than my front
i thought it was a little off, I've hit the exhaust tip on quite a few things, the most envigorating being when i put the muffler under the rear pass. door, that was fubn

i went to canadian tire today...yay..they gave me a 200 dollar credit in store for them alternators i kept burnin...i bought some coil spring adjusters for the rear springs...it lifted the car about 2 inches in the back..and the ride is like 98 percent better..its a sporty ride..before it was really floaty and bouncy...so i solved that problem..if u guys go out and buy the kits..make sure u get the three inch bolt tensioners..cause they wont be long nuff to reach the other bracket...*(save yourself an hour drive)
