IML: Rear Ride Height Issues

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right here at your handy www.imperialclub.com website, you'll find some info 
on the subject.
> From the home page's "Repair" link,
http://imperialclub.com/Repair/index.htm
under Frame Shocks & Springs, see
http://imperialclub.com/Repair/Springs/index.htm
Check the Springs and Shocks info. You'll find past discussions on these 
components that feed your full tank - rear dragging syndrome. I'll add a 
personal preference for KYB shocks http://www.kyb.com/kyb.php . Their total 
+/-  400lbs of pressurised force will help sagging springs.
I've meant to do height measurement comparisons on each car I've put them 
on, in each case have neglected to do so. With that, I'd estimate nearly 2 
inches of lift when I put a set on a '72 Newport, over the 25 yr old Atlas 
brand hydraulic shocks it had. They can be a little firm.
Of course, nothing beats new springs.

MY butt sinks down 4 inches when I get gas... Just picture it, I try to hide 
my rear but folk notice and point. I must fix this issue. Where to get air 
bags, helper springs, springs re-arched, or new springs. Come on a speak up 
out there I know I am not the only with a low rear end. Lets talk nuts and 
bolts: Price, suppliers, quality, and ease to use.
