Installed new stock Coil springs, bump stops and steering damper. Kinda disturbed that the front did not raise up more than I thought it would.
Everything is stock.
I did the rear Tuesday (stock leafs) and now the back end is sitting much higher than the front
even with new springs? Hopefully the leafs will settle in, Maybe Ill drive around with some bricks in the back along with my 90 pound floor jack.

Thank you. I was fortunate to get it off a guy in Harrison he had decided not to use it. I had looked real hard for this reflxxion hood.

Yes, I installed the front bolts and the rear bolts but left them loose, then lowered it to the ground and tightened up all the bolts. Thats what I have read on several different places.

I didnt get very specific. The old coils were sagging and the PO or someone installed those rubber stop things on/between the coils, I jacked up the car and removed them before the new coil install and it sagged a huge amount, I did get some lift and was not expecting lift beyond stock.

Found the cause of an annoying rubbing with my rear pass. leaf spring. Apparently I bashed my exhaust hanger just enough to rub the leaf clip-thingy. thought i had bent a shackle or twisted my spring.
