I'm looking to be about this low:

Actually there is and simple inexpensive solution to levelling the rear-end with a heavy load. If you reduce the number of active coils the spring rate increases but instead of cutting coils off, if you jam something between coils you achieve the same result. I had 70 duro urethane donuts custom make for my 1.8l '09 but recently found that Longacre Racing Products makes a similar product http://www.longacreracing.com/catalog/i ... 45&catid=5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; avaialbe at Summit or JEGs. This increased the spring rate by about 10-12% on a spring dyno when the spring is compressed 1" per donut. I did this originally for performance and handling reasons to tune the stock springs without changing the ride height.beemerphile1 wrote:I can tell you how to lower the rear, hitch a trailer on to it.My interests go the other way, I would like to be able to keep the original height while towing.
I honestly don't know why anyone would want to lower a car that has 6" clearance when new. To each their own though. Good luck.
