Concerns About My New Stranos
Replaced my Eibach Pro-kit springs after only 2,500 miles do to the sagging in the rear. Had my new stranos put on this week and the car appears to sag worse now then before. Any ideas? I took the car to a level parking lot down the street and measured from the ground to the start of the wheel well. The front is sitting higher than the rear.

What did the spring isolators look like in the rear?

Wondering if maybe the rear had the HOSE MOD done.
Basically replaces the stock isolator with a hose...lowering the rear 0.5" to 0.75"

I am guessing it has been done.
Flashlight and a floorjack should be able to tell. Get under the car, take a look towards the top of the spring.
My old T/A stood quite a bit different than that on Strano's.
On Koni's....

Is there suppose to be an isolator between the spring and the body like in the front?
If so I'm missing mine.
If you measure along the center of the wheel to to the top of the wheel well my car sits 26.5" on all 4.

The rear isolator appears to be normal. This is really frustrating. I measured at the center of the wheel to the beginning of the wheel well and each measurement was different but each was within the 26"-27" range.

At this point....remove one of the rear springs and check. Should take 20 minutes.
Lift car, put unibody on stands. Let rear sag....pull out spring

i disagree... Aaron's looks lower now than his eibach...
Curtis' WS6 is the stance they usually have like he stated

Curtis has a 9", which will sit higher...
I can't see the pics because I am at work, just thought I would point that out.
