Question about lowering springs...

I have 2.0 in the front and like 1.85 in the rear but I want my car to be lower then that...

Question is: Can I take the springs from the front (2.0 low) and put them in the back and just get new springs in the front (2.2)??

I doubt you can do that, it'll mess up your suspension and alingment

Tru2aznb just get an alignment and you will be ok mine shook after my springs and was way off as far as alignment. WEnt and got the alignment done yesterday and it drives just like it used to. NO the springs from the front wont work in the back. Think about all the weight in the front with the motor, and then think about all the weight in the back. YOur 2 inch front drop in the back would be like a 1 inch drop.

good point penny, your front springs are loaded to a different stiffness than the backs.....the coils are progessively wound and are different front and back.....your fronts are also alot longer than the backs.....it wouldnt work!

Also the rear springs are wider than the front springs, take a look at them, they just wont fit on the strut assembly at all.
