Need some Advice:B13

Postby Ry an » December 6th, 2008, 3:54 pm

Hey jus need some advice , my car a B13 for some reason the front of the car is higher than the back ( the back being about 2inches off the wheel and the front about 3inches off).keep in mind i had bought the car like this i even changed the back springs but it was still the same height.

I was thinking to put some drop springs in the front of the car to even off the ride.

What do you think?

If i put drop springs what kinda shocks should i use?

Thats the thing i dont know why? All the springs and shocks are original ,no cut springs. But it off like a inch from front to back so the centre of gravity will be off.

Are the shocks in the back good?
Any extra weight in the trunk that not being considered?
Is car auto or manual?

have you checked a stock b13 ride height also?
most new fwd cars the fenders are cut slightly higher in the front than the back so with weight it evens off

When i had bought the car i changed all the shocks (new). The only springs i changed were the back because i thought they had lost tension.

does the car have any accident history???.........what can happen if they had an accident and the front of the vehicle was hit then they may have to jack the vehicle causing it to go upward ...........my garage does this all the time with accident vehicles!!!
