stock rear or after market?

I run QA1 130 lbs coil over springs. they fit perfectly in the G body perches. used 12inch. stock length are like 14.

GhettoRacingKid do you ever have a problem with the spring coming off either the upper or lower perches?

 

[GhettoRacingKid]

so far no. havent driven it yet. lol

I have drag shocks in the car along with an after market ford 9 inch and a anti roll bar. with the rear the perches are taller and hold the spring better.

I would not recommend it on a stock perch.

I did also take out the rubber mounts on the uppers to secure it better.

I have a ford 9" and plan on putting in an anti roll bar with umi control arms as well

are these the springs you're talking about?

no link no pics but here is a shot of mine.

right when I picked up the car from getting the ABR and the cage put in

here is a view but the control arms i have have 0 bind in them so the rear basically only stops when the shock is fully extended.

here is at ride height. ABR isnt hooked up as you can see.

So are the drag shocks stiffer then stock or ??? I'm running bilsteins. I purchased springs from eaton that when loaded measured 11.5. I want the rear to sit lower and i compressed the spring with spring spacers just to play with the height and when i jacked one side up the spring(compressed) fell off the top perch.

The perches on a stock here are going to have some issues staying in place.

I have 3 way adjustable drag shocks. Right now they are on firm.

I wouldnt recommend using coil overs on a stock rear with no ABR
