Ok, here it goes....maybe I'll get some answers here. Purchased the protouring stage 2 kit fkr my 67 nova, everything went together great and fits great. Only issues im having is the front suspension is extremely stiff, even with the double adjustable coilovers on the lowest setting. Second problem is the leaf springs for the rear were supposed to be a 2" drop but ended up dropping the rear almost 4"! Now the car sits an inch lower in the rear, no idea what i can do about this....any insight on what I need to do?
Hi there—thanks for reaching out. Let’s get this dialed in.
On the front suspension, when you mention the coilovers are at the “lowest setting,” can you clarify:
What positions are the two adjustment knobs currently set to (compression and rebound)?
How high is the spring perch threaded up from the bottom?
Do you have any photos of the coilovers installed that show the spring height?
On the rear leaf springs—if you’re seeing more than a 2” drop—we definitely want to take a closer look. Please send clear side-view photos of the leaf springs with the car fully on the ground under its own weight (not on a lift or jack stands). Ideally, we’d like to see:
A full side view of the car showing the ride height
A clear view of the leaf springs from the side, including the shackle and mounting points
Any visible part numbers or labels on the springs, if possible
