My b13 is sagging in the rear... i have KYB AGX's with pro kit. My car has been jacked up in the fron for about 2.5 years... so would the shocks or springs be shot? It just sags... i'll have pics up this weekend... any ideas guys?

It is likely. I'd get different springs and check the struts while you have them off.

I think is also has been said that the rear fenders sit lower than in front making it look like it is sagging. I would say the struts are shot if they are feeling soft even on the highest setting. Maybe you should try out spring spacers to raise up the rear a little?

thats exactly what i did 5 mins ago. i couldnt find any coil spring spacers so i cut a piece of rubber to wrap around the coil about 1" thickness between the 1st and 2nd coild and it raised it up. so my car sits perfect now. measure's 23 1/4" front and23 3/4" in the rear. before my rear was 22 1/4" :biggthump im a happy camper . oh yeah i put two zip ties around the coil and rubber so it stays in place if i hit a bump and get air born. other then that its smashed between the coils so it isnt going anywhere

Adam, can you take a pic of how you did that? The back of my car sags and I would like to try that out. Would like to at least even it out with the front end because the rear sits about an inch lower.

don't forget fellas about how the front fender wheel opening is wider than the rear quarter panel wheel opening. no offense to anyone

Ohh gotcha. I thought maybe you did it as a better alternative to spring spacers. I am going to have to get a pair off of JC Whitney or maybe if my local Auto Zone/Advanced Auto Parts stores have them.
