The spring is defiantly the wrong one; it is much tighter than it should be. You can get springs and pretty much everything you need from HRP World. http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?fo...ction=category
That looks like the DRM set up with the hat that it has, if I am thinking correctly the EM kits use a different hat much like the Callaway set ups. How high up the sleeve do you have the perch?

Here are the DRM's on the '89 same as everyone's above: (Sorry for the crappy camera phone pictures)

Dom this is why I ditched the rear dog bones and went to the Banski trailing arms. After loading the new Poly bushings into the dogbones they were too fat with the new coilovers. I highly suggest you DO NOT do any alignment work until you are done with your suspension work. I also suggest you think about new trailing arms due to the clearance issues. GC

Just spoke w Randy at DRM. He suggested the 400/275. He described it as a tight ride without being bouncy. I asked about the 425s and he said that if he swapped them after having 400s, I wouldn't be able to tell the diff if i hadn't already known. So if I wanted to stiffen things up a bit, I may try the 450s. If I can get them soon enough, I would cancel my alignment to put these on.
I messed with different spring rates and still run (99% of the time) the 400/275 that DRM originally set the car up with. When I stepped up to a bigger spring the car developed a push at lower speeds but at faster tracks (TWS, TMS) the car responded nicely. Your results may vary depending on the bar set up you are running.
