C900s tend to sag in the rear, but Posted by RS [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: spring spacers, JJ, Sun, 30 Nov 2003 01:46:09 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The lip of the rear wheel wells is lower than the front as you look along the horizontal body crease, so there is some illusion that the rear is lower than the front, even if the rear springs aren't sagging.
In US market C900s, there's a lot of apparent space in the front wheel wells, even on late SPGs.
The real test is whether front bumper height is the same as the rear.
Skip the push-in kind of spring spacer. Those don't work worth anything.
Other than replacing the rear springs, you can get 1/2-inch (or so) thick disk-type spacers for the rear from a place like sasab.com, like Andrew describes. Or make your own out of HDPE or something similar.
To fit those spacers in, you jack the car up, put stands under the trailing arms in front of the rear axle, remove the nuts on the shocks and jack the body of the car up until you see sufficient space between the spring and the spring mount to rotate the spring out, put the spacer in, and rotate the spring back in. Then sew it all back together.
