Upgrading rear springs on coilovers

dedoom · 12-26-2018, 05:15 AM

Hello all!
I’ve been running the Tein street basis coilovers for over a year now. No complaints, except for now that I’ve lowered the front end a bit more the back end isn’t at a height that compliments the front. I’m having some trouble finding what size spring I should get and where to even buy from. Anyone have any info? I’m gonna be upgrading to the Fortune 500 coilovers eventually but for the time being I want to see what I can do with my current set up. Pictures of my current set up for reference. I will be installing front upper camber arms soon to get some camber in as well.

I wouldn't recommend it because your shock is not adjustable to compensate for the lower ride height so they will probably bottom out.... Plus the spring will probably move around in the bucket since there not be enough pre load when the shock is extended.

Brendan and Jhill like this. __________________ 2019 370z Sport 6MT \| Magnetic Black
