Re: Front & Rear Springs
Congrats, post some pictures of the ride height when you get it installed please. That correct ride height is what I'm chasing.

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Thank you.
There is a predetermined shim arrangement for ride height adjustment based on the color coding on the spring. The Shop Manual shows them. |

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Can you measure the unsprung height for me? (peak of the spring down to the ground)

Re: Front & Rear Springs
I'd be happy to. I won't actually have the replacement springs until some time next week. And I'll be traveling Wednesday through Sunday. So I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Please be patient.

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Do you have good photos of the paper labels on the springs for other years? I have reproduced the front and Rear stickers for the 90 ZR-1 that have passed NCRS judging at Nationals. Front is AA with PN 17988598 and Rear is NYR 14065899.

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Stingray1967,
The front spring is FHA and the overall height at the apex is 8 inches. See the attached photos and a copy of the shop manual page for the front spring. Joe |

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Thanks musuraca!! I'll have to measure mine now. Interesting that you received an FHA code.

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Joe, thanks again for the measurement. Mine is 8" as well (FHA code). Still hoping to get it in the car next weekend.
