All the cars I've seen have been higher on the right side, More springs on that side. Did you put the springs on the correct side??

I'll check them again. They have different part numbers and I installed them according to which one was listed left or right. I suppose the part numbers could have been flip flopped. How many springs should be on the left and how many on the right? Thanks for the help.

Most leafs on the right side but if you went by the part numbers then they are probably in correctly. You may be a victim of junky Mexican manufactured SS springs. There have been many ride height issues since they quit making them in Canada.

I was told left is higher to compensate for passenger weight .Does it level when you sit in it.

From the MOPAR chassis book 8th edition page 161
These springs should be purchased and installed in sets- one right and one left. these suspentions were biased from the factory. this means that the RIGHT spring is "stiffer" than the left. visualy this means that the RIGHT spring has more leaves(7 vs. 6 typically,) especially in the FRONT segment ( beteeen the center bolt and the front spring eye ).
It goes on
Hope this helps

Are we talking about the M.P. superstock springs or the aftermarket versions? I talked to Greg Luneak of Tri-City Competition some time ago and he told me that the M.P. ss springs were not very good. I talked to a guy at the Mopars-in-May show last weekend who told me the set of M.P. ss springs he used on his racecar lasted about 5 passes before distorting to the point where he thought driving his car was dangerous. He had a set made by Tri-City that were much better but he was looking to go with Cal Tracs as he was going to start using N02 and he thought he was to the limit of even his aftermarket SS springs.(low 6 second 1/8th mile) What is the real story on the M.P. superstock springs? -Bob

Very good info here, but I cant bring myself to have a car with 2" rake over 50" of body length.. It takes a lot of tinkerring with your car, but you can take all these and apply them to a car with .5" of rake, and it doesnt look like you're running "High Jackers"..(who remembers those??)

Bob you are right about the Mopar SS-springs the last set I got went away quick. I don't know if the outher brands have the same setup ( extra leave faceing foward on the passenger side).

I have the MP SS springs on my car and it sits about an inch or so higher on the driver side. It does sit level when I get in. I'm sure they are in right. My brother (340rick) told me the new ones (made in Mexico) are not as good as the old ones. Thanks for all the advice and I feel better now knowing it's likely the springs and not the car or me.

ive got a few questions also regarding the ss rear spring setup.
we had a lower shock mount stud break tonight, where would i get a new set of these so that i can run the newer dodge truck shocks as have been posted above.

the studs on this 69 dart are roughly 11/16 diameter and il need something in the 1/2 inch or slightly bigger range. actual measurement is roughly .565 or so.

also, to clarify this one more time, i should not be using the pinion snubber?

I think I changed the bushing in the shock but I can't honestly remember as I have changed things alot. As for the snuber I run one but some don't. You have to try it bouth ways to see witch one workes for you.

My computer is down again. If you got any questions call me. 785-452-1825
