I lowered my 93 using intrax coils and Tokiko struts. The car definately looks and drives a helluv a lot better, but the back end did not drop as much as the front. I have seen posts talking about shortening the bump stops. Could this be my problem? I had a suspension shop do the work for me, so i have know idea if this was done. How can I find out quickly? Or is this something about intrax springs and nothing i can do?
thanx many times, Jay

Nope the bump stops aren't what is keeping the back end up. The springs are just that way.

If you look at the rear coils you'll see 3 or 4 coils at the bottom that are binded (no space in between) completely. They function to keep the spring seated on the strut if the suspension get fully extended, like after a big bump. You can safely cut off 1 or 2 of these coils which will lower the back about a half inch. Lot's of people have done this with no adverse effects.

My friend just got a set of intrax springs on his 97 dodge avenger and the front is lower than the back on his as well. Even though its a totally different car, it probably is how the springs are.
