[s-cars] Re: Suspension Upgrade

[Noah]

At one point when I first put the stuff on, I went back and compared the 
numbers on the springs and they were the same as the ones they were shipping 
to other folks that were not complaining like I was/am. It's in the archive 
somewhere.

I installed all the stuff myself. The only way I can think of to screw it up 
would be to install the spring perches upside down, and that would make it 
quite a bit taller, but it's  all but impossible to compress the spring 
enough to get the sandwich together that way. Can anyone else think of any 
way I could have assembled it incorrectly?

It's rolling on the stock 16x8 wheels with 225/50/16s.
