Subject: springs

Body:
Okay, here's a question for ya. When asc lowered our cars, did they
cut the stock springs? Or, did they install specific rate springs or
progressive rate? Anyone know the actual spring rates, 800 lb., 420-
530 lb.,?? Also were the stock shocks changed out? Were any other
mods done to the cars because they were lowered? Like,lower the
steering rack, make adjustments to the alignment, etc. Did the cars
come with a camber/castor plates?
I ask because with the stock springs, I'm getting a little tired of
hitting bumps and bouncing off the ceiling. It also feels as though
I'm reaching the end of the limit of the shocks on compression. With
lowered springs should'nt you use specific shocks? Strange
Engineering has adjustable struts and shocks at a great price.
Anyone try them ??

thanks
