OK, I have had 2 guys over to the house, we looked, wrenched and figured that the threads are seized up and I need new ones. Apparently, the guy prior to me liked it on the lowest setting and the aluminum on the bottom must be crushed...Car stills drives straight and true...The front pulls up like a boat taking off. Good for launch however, street driving needs to be up a bit. Pro, or any of you other guys...What should I get? Strut Coilover combo that CAN be adjusted...I am not a real big fan of UPR.

What is the spring rate of the coils you have now. If you're happy w/ them, just buy the new Strange coil over kits minus the springs.

13" I don't know the exact rate but I was recommended the Qq1 program using 14" `75 Lb's
So, your saying get a new UPR kit?
