sagging springs
sagging springs
I have a 94 z28 with stock springs, and the car seems to be sagging more in the rear. It use to look like it sit up higher in the rear now it looks to be sitting a little lower than the front. Does any body have any measurements on the stock springs ride height. Measureing from the ground to the fender well. I would like to have front and rear if possible, but I am mainly worried about the rear. Thanks for any help.
Never mind just used the search function. Which I normally do before making a post. 27" front, 28" rear just for the record. Mine was 27" front, 26" rear so I guess I was right about sagging in the rear.
I did check with Auto Zone and I beleave that was $61.99 each. Which I found a local company that specialize's in coil and leaf spring repair that can get me the rear set for $80. When the guy was looking up the springs for me I noticed in the catalog that it had the spring spec. on them, so I asked him what the free length on the springs was. It's 15" on the free length, 10"1/4 or 1/2 installed height, and 104lb spring rate. Since I had already taken mine off and measured them at 14" on the free length and remembering that local junk yard just got the same year Z28 in as mine when I was over there with a friend. Knowing that the springs was sitting in the front seat from the junk yard striping the motor, trans, and drivetrain out. So I went and checked out the springs free length on them 14" 5/8. So for $15 I thought I would just try this out for now. After installing them it brought the rear up to 27" 3/8 thats a 1" 3/8 more than before.
I too ordered 2 springs from Autozone ,thinking 1for 60+$
when they came in it was two boxes with 2 per box for 60+$ for each box of two. so out of the 2 boxes one went home 1 went on Autozones shelf too
hope you 2 have good results too
