Exclamation Stiffer springs without lowering

I have installed the Koni schocks on the standard springs . Ride is very nice as German cars . However, the car at the rear got lower by few cms which rubs at the speed bumps anytime someone is sitting in the rear seat of the car. I need to raise the rear of the car, or fit stronger springs so that the car doesn't bottom when loaded at the rear ... appreciate advice please ....

maybe try the Pedders OE height springs? parts are 7940 front and 7980 rear.

I got my bushings from HEMI4ME? so he may be able to help.

You can also check with Rob@WretchedMS or one of the Pedders team
who also happen to be supporting vendors.

We do have stock height springs which are a hair lower than the RWD RT but not much, they are stiffer than stock

Cool V thanks for the mention, i appreciate it.

I just installed H&R lowering springs and its about one finger gap all around and no bottoming out! BUT the left front hits hard on bumps I'm getting waves inside the finder I have 22x9.5 wheels with 265 35 22 tires. Why would I be running only on one fender?
