If i read your post correctly, It seems you want the car to sit down a little
in the rear. That was a worry I had when I replaced the springs on my BJ8 a
few years back. So---before installing them, I went to a commercial spring
shop and had the springs "de-sprung" about 25%. Car sits a little lower in the
rear and that is the look I like. I DO NOT like the side view of a BJ8 sitting
way up in the rear. Just my likes and dislikes.
