Has anyone done just a stock rebuild of their rear suspension? I'm trying to get a measurement from the ground to someplace on the body (was thinking the center of the wheel well on the the rear exterior body would be a good place). Is there a more common place for this measurement to be taken and would anyone be willing to measure their's for me? Thinking my front is too high, rear is too low, or they are both off.
rear bumper is the only piece not back on it. so you're saying rebuild the rear suspension before doing any cutting or lowering of my front springs? If my rear is riding low and I lower the front even, then my front will be too low when the rear is rebuilt. If it's the right height I can cut the front springs accordingly before the rear rebuild.
The measurements will be off based on the size wheels and tires as well (as I criticize my own question...). But I can adjust my measurement for that based on what wheels someone's running.... anybody else think of anything that will throw this off as an interpretation of where the stance of my car should lie? If I can't figure out a measurement, maybe I can figure out all of the factors I will need to consider before such a measurement would work. Another point to consider... I could just be being to too anal about it and should just let it ride wherever it ends up sitting.,,
oops. just saw ur post I think I was typing when you posted lol. Thanks for the input. kewl. I can do that. Just really wanted to get my front end down seeing as it might be a month before I can get to the rear. only wanna have to cut the front once tho and not cut too much. I'll just wait on doing that then unless someone convinces me otherwise. Thanks again! -Phil
lol. yup, that seems to be the general consensus. k, I thought this might've been a clever idea to skip a step and get to spring cutting, but I guess I'll just wait til the rear susp is redone and I know what size rims/tires I go with first and just do it right. Thanks for the input guys. skipping steps ends up turning into a regret down the road more times than not anyway.
