Car too low

[JeffM T/A GT]

Just wondering what would be the best/least expensive way to raise my t/a. It has a 2 inch drop. The springs and shocks are pretty new so I would hate to have to replace both. I have seen these rubber things that go in between the coils. Any suggestions?

You can raise the rear with taller rubber isolators from jegs,summitt etc. But the fronts you would need to replace the coils. Spacers are a bandaid fix and will screw up the alighnment and they can shift over time. I have LT1 coils on my ls1 car. eibach 1.5" drop.

Would I be able to use my current shocks with stock springs?

If your shocks are still new I dont see why. I would check them to see if they are still good (not blown)

I think it depends more on how rusted the nut is on top holding the shock in. When I did shocks and springs on mine I had to cut through the shaft on one of my old stock ones to get it off. It was rusted so bad it stripped almost immediately. If they're pretty new, ie. been replaced recently and not rusted, you should be ok.

If you want to raise it back up correctly, it will take new springs. Those things you slip between coils cause localized stress on the springs. You don't really want to do that on a vehicle you care about, IMHO.

Depends - were the shocks specifically selected and/or revalved to match the lowering springs? If so, it will be a compromise if you use them with stock springs, with regard to ride quality and handling.
