Stock Ride Height with 140lb springs?
Can you have a stock ride height w/ 140lb rear springs or must you have the 100lb type? My springs are sagging, and I want to bring it back up to stock height. My car is an original 2.0 w/ rear swaybar.

I believe that the 140lb springs lower the car about 1 inch according to the Pelican site. I switched from 140lb springs on my car back to 100lb springs and the ride height did raise a little but after just a few months, I really couldn't tell the difference.
It also depends on the tires. Attached is a photo of my car. It has 100lb springs (fairly new in this photo) and P205 50 15's . I'm going to be switching to P205 60 15's in the near future - primarily becasue i think the profile is too low and I would like my speedo to be more accurate.

Get Bilstein shocks. They have adjustable collars for the spring perch and the RH can be adjusted. Also, don't buy 10" springs which are the standard for racers (mostly in a smaller diameter than you can use as well unless you provide for that conversion).
