Thread: Stiffer rear suspension? 97-03

Replace springs with blocks of wood

The squat is going to happen anyway imo its just the weight transfer, unless you running on a track it shouldn't be a huge problem unless you wanted to really sink some money into the suspension.

Spring blockers, stiffer shocks, or front springs in the rear.

If Riviera springs would fit I would think they would be stiffer. But I have no idea just throwing thoughts out there. I'm sure someone who knows more can tell me I'm wrong. lol

Rivieras are air assisted coil spring trailing arms

G, C, H & B bodies are different from the W.

it may be that the springs will work and are stiffer but even though the control arm leverage ratio at the spring is higher with the trailing arm...that and the air suspension (air assist shocks) I don't think that would necessarily mean the coil spring has a higher spring rate than say a 9c1 imp rear spring

I will say it ...front springs on the back is the bee's knees... cuz your car will ride level with all your tools and crap in it and then you go to the track... empty it out and she's sitting with her ass in the air like she wants to be stabbed with your pecker

Cargo springs

Cant use the whole front assembly on the back. Would have to be springs.

youll grind a portion of the lower spring seat to remove a high spot,, just rtv below durring final assembly (clean rust/crud), dont use an issolator

the upper your going to toss the oe spring swash plate but keep the inner portion, your making a union of the oem Front and rear upper hats, and top hat to hold spring centered. up top i shoulda made a centering washer instead but i didnt care, we wanted to hurry up and break the trans in the TR yet again....
