I can't remember what way they go.The ends point toward the drivers side.I've done a few trips since installing the rears and they definitely feel stiffer than stock. Adjusted up with the CHE adjustable arms, there is no way they are going to coil bind or bottom out. Quote Selected

Mach 1 springs in the rear - pics! Reply #21 – November 16, 2007, 06:20:01 PM I totally love the ride of the car now. It's a bit firmer all around - maybe a little "tuner" jiggly since I am still using stock shocks/struts. I have had no issues at all in the rear - no binding or excess travel or anything - very tight and predictable. The fronts are great too - only on bridge construction where the road suddenly rises a few inches do the tires touch in the front. In corners the car feel tighter than it did with the 1.3" front roll bar installed. I am steering the car very precisely through corners - it may be a little twitchy based on the tow-in adjustment I did, but I like the added feel in curves compared to the oversteer I had with the car up high and the tight CHE upper and lower arms. Lowering the car with the firmer springs really brought back the handing characteristics and then some. The car is quite sporty now - I have to be careful as the S/C adds so much torque that I am forgetting that I can loose the rear in a heatbeat as the tires will spin at up to 70 MPH when I gun it - lol :hick: Quote Selected

Mach 1 springs in the rear - pics! Reply #24 – January 15, 2008, 02:51:44 PM Just curious I seen your measurements that you took off were roughly 15",I seen our specs for new stock springs for free height at 13.33".I'm about to do my rear and I'm gettin more confused.Also anyone know the difference between bullit and mach 1?.I'm ready to call PPI but need to know more what to ask them.

Mach 1 springs in the rear - pics! Reply #25 – January 15, 2008, 03:13:48 PM I put stock '95 GT rear springs in my car, with overload airbags, it lowered the car pretty well and I can put air in the bags anytime I'm hauling extra people or extra junk so the car doesn't drag. Pretty handy. Quote Selected

Mach 1 springs in the rear - pics! Reply #27 – January 15, 2008, 04:50:57 PM Well, they have hoses running to them and a schrader valve I put at the back of the car.Starting from no air in the bags, you can actually raise the car 1/2"-1" or so without seriously affecting ride quality.Another nice bonus is that if you run about 7-10 psi in the bags, it actually improves handling a bit as it reduces roll in the rear.

Mach 1 springs in the rear - pics! Reply #29 – January 15, 2008, 09:39:41 PM Man, I'd like to put on some CHE adjustable lowers, except that it doesn't look like they'll be compatible with my airbags (since the bags sit inside the springs)doh Quote Selected
