Options for rear springs keeping stock ride height but a little stiffer?
Maybe I just need some stock replacements, but it seems my passenger side is sitting a little lower than the driver side and it rubs my 315 tires on bumps only on that side.
Is there a little stiffer spring available than my '95 stock springs, or a trick to making them make the car sit a little higher, a spacer or something they make for them?
Are WS6 springs any stiffer on the later model TAs?

My car is the same way, and i was told that only changing one side of springs would mess up the suspension. You could try removing the rear spring isolator on the drivers side, put some heater hose on the end of the spring though to prevent squeeks. This should lower the drivers side a bit, and you could put some heater hose on the spring on the passenger side to raise it.

Removing the isolator on the driver side would even it up, but that will give me the rubbing problem on both sides I suspect.
No one makes a spacer or taller isolator that I could put in the passenger side to raise the ride height any?

Its probably rubbing because the side is lower and has more weight transfer. Mine was doing this and I evened it out and now it doesn't rub. Give it a try, it'll only cost you a little time and what a foot of hose runs.

Looks like these do not work with the stock springs, is that correct?
No big deal as the springs are about $75 pair for them.
But this looks like a solution. I'll try evening them out like suggested first.
Heck I just realized, this place is just down the raod from me, guess I'll stop by.
Thanks

I would try an adjustable panhard rod to center the axle between the wheel wells. That is what the 315 guys have to do on the Frrax forum. even with that done you may still have to use a big hammer in places to keep it from rubbing in extreme handling situations.

Look for GM 5 1/2 pigtail springs.

A 12" free length should get you really close to stock ride height, amybe a tick lower. You can select your own spring rate.

I already have the adj PH rod and have the rear centered, just one side is lower than the other causing some slight rubbing.
I'll look into finding the 1LE springs or go the pitstop route.
What are the stock spring specs? length and rate?

Are these what you are referring to?
