Right side rear of the Firechicken is sagging(3/4in lower). I know that I drive it like I stole it but should the right rear spring be giving out with 3yrs & 30,000 miles on it???

Nope. That's odd though. I've heard of others complaining one side sags over time but not at the 3 yr mark. Time for coilovers!

It could be the right rear spring because that is the direction the car torques over under hard acceleration.

Nope haven't pulled them out to check them yet....will be doing that soon. I'm thinking that it is from the torque also. Yes I'm looking at the coilovers also but just can't seem to stomach the $1800 yet. Maybe the 4:11s and new tranny are taking it's toll back there 
Jazzy91 sorry I can't help with the problem that you & Jason where having......

Man you can go the cheap route and get GC's. I KNOW YOU ARE LG fan and like to keep one product and one only on a car. But who says it has to be permanent?

Still thinking about going that route also. If I could get the spring rates and some other info from Roy I might be able to cut out LG and put it together myself for alot less $$$$$.
