Does anybody have a good line on some springs for the rear of a 99 Z/28? Info as in: I need to lower it because the front HAL springs they said wouldn't settle and lower the front of the car, did in fact, settle and lower the front of the car. (It looks badass now, by the way :wink: ). Anyway, I can't get a straight answer from HAL about which one of their 8 million springs would be best, so I could use some help. Thanks for any info. Later.

Probably your best be would be to talk to Sam Strano. I don't know what spring rate you are running up front. I run 600lb linear front and 150lb rear linear rate springs. It really just depends on what you want to do w/ the car. How low up front are now?

May be able to pick up a set of used ones on cz28.com

I haven't had a chance to measure it. A couple days after I got it back from getting the springs put on, I had to go to Slovakia. (Way to many hot women here. :shock: ) I am looking to lower the back about 1 1/2". I have to take it back to get the alignment done when I get back, I might raise the front alittle.
