Spohn Rear Coil Over Kit

I see that Spohn has a rear coil over kit with QA1 shocks and springs for 93-97 F-Body. Anyone have experience with this kit. The ride height adjustment capability alone seems very attractive. I've got a Moser 12 bolt and because of the spring perch my car looks like I've jacked up the rear. Sure would be nice to be able to lower the height a little for normal street driving. I wonder how this would be on a street/strip car for daily use.

Lots of suspension questions today.

Thanks.

Re: Spohn Rear Coil Over Kit

I haven't got a chance to see one in person, but the setup looks nice. Of course, it would DQ me from every stock suspension race I run.

I'll stick w/ the setup I have from Wolfe. Their adj. spring perches kick ***.

Re: Spohn Rear Coil Over Kit

Well I hope it's good because I just ordered it with the 150lb spring rate. It will be nice to actually adjust the rear height. I also did the QA1 R series kit up front with 275lb springs, also got LCA relocation brackets for my Spohn LCA's. Other than using a stock front K I'm pretty set with my suspension. I already have the Spohn TA, adjustable panhard and LCA's. Hopefully the expenditure will result in lower 60ft times. I know the car will look better with the ride height adjustment capability.

Edited because I'm redundant.

When you get it installed, post some pictures up. I haven't seen it on a 4th gen yet.

Re: Spohn Rear Coil Over Kit

I actually bought the Spohn rear coilover kit about 3 months ago and I'm getting ready to install it this weekend hopefully. I currently have the HAL 12 way adjustables front and rear with the BMR red springs. I purchased the rear coilover HAL 12 way with the HAL silver 150 lb linear rate springs for the rear and the HAL silver 300 lb linear rate springs for the front. Even if the car does not 60ft better I'm sure I will like the ability to adjust the ride height front and rear. It will be nice to run the car with that slammed look on the street and then bring it back up to stock height for the track I will take some pics when I get a chance

I'd sure be interested in the pics as well. Also post up any issues or tips that you have with the install, although it's just about bolt in from what I can tell.
