Got my Steeda Ultralite linears to sit a little higher in the rear by adding an 8mm spring pad spacer, stance is now spot on. :)


I also previously mentioned about the car having an appearance of reverse rake, due to the arch gap being larger in the front than rear. The fact was the car did have rake as was 4.75" from the ground at front and 6" in rear, but the arch gaps gave the impression of reverse rake. So doing a bit of research it turns out E36/E46 spring pads are of the correct overall diameter and you just need to enlarge the inner diameter to 3.25" for them to fit. I went with 8mm spring pads as the spring is not on the damper, as such there is a leverage ratio, so an 8mm pad gives around a 10-12mm height increase.


NO SPRING PADS!





8mm SPRING PADS INSTALLED







I cannot tell you how thrilled I am at the results, the car now has the perfect stance, am absolutely over the moon with the looks and appearance of the car now. :)

So I am still working on locating longer M14 studs for the front so I can use in my view the safer type of spacer on the front.

Then the only visual changes that will happen to the car in the future will be some 19/20" wheels, still can't decide which but I've got a few months to decide. :)

This thread is about the sport linear, right? The black car with PP wheels in the first post is about to sell me on these springs. Can you guys confirm the drop is a true 1" or at least very close to it? Anyone have any measurements at the fender arch with these springs?

These aren't great pics but they are a pretty accurate representation of how the car sits with the sport linear springs. I got exactly the drop I was looking for, right at an inch front and rear.
