Does anyone have a shortened composite spring installed on an 80-82? I just received one from VanSteel and it is really flat compared to the old spring. The recommended 8" spring bolts have about 4" of slack when the car is in the air which will put the tires way into the fenders when the car is lowered. Am I missing something with the new spring?:chinese:
 
I have a VBP with 8" bolts, and tires are 3/4 inch closer on the inside as opposed to stock, and so far they are fine....
 
That's the one. It did work out fine after I got brave enough to lower the car. I was just used to having a preload on the spring even when the car was in the air. Thanks for the input.....:goodnight:
