I like my little Spirit,but it needs some help.I replaced the rear springs over the winter and added some dumb bells for weight in the snow.Now i have removed the extra weight and the car feels funny.like the rear is loose but I checked the U-bolts and they are tight I also checked the spring mounts they were ok too.I would like to drop the frontend 1 inch but if I cut the factory springs it will stiffin the ride and I dont want that.Are there springs I could buy that would drop it like I want.I know that the 4.2 is a low RPM torq motor.I have looked at Clifford Performance and like their stuff,but is their any other parts maker to compare them to? these are just a few questions I have.
