Rear Springs

Well, there's not really much to report here, as I took my car to STANDARD SPRING 1990 as they have a good reputation for doing suspension related work. This is the same place the Nova has been too in past years for any suspension related work.

BEFORE

AFTER

(It's not as high as it looks in the after picture.)

I had my back springs re-arc'd and asked them to raise the car up an 1"1/2 inchs.
Since having the Springs re-arc'd in May of 2000, the car has come down to about 1"1/4 higher which is where I wanted it.

I also had an FrontEnd Alignment as my tires were wearing funny... turned out the toe was out abit. Also had the front bearings repacked and one wheel cylinder replaced.

Later on in the Summer (2000), I also had to have the Upper Control Arm Bushings replaced, which again Standard Spring was where I took it too.
