Question about sprint springs.

Why do these springs make the car sit so high in the back?

Because they dont drop the back as far as the front...

Theya re designed that way on purppose. Higher in the back reduces understeer at the limit. It also avoids sagging in the rear with a full load of passengers.

Plus, I think it looks cool that way.

That's a reasonable reason. So they are drop 2 inch all the way around?
