Have any of you tried a very flat rear spring that is a bit longer than stock.
I did it and my car sits really low but the wheels do not have excessive

the car felt pretty good in the rear the last time I ran it. Unfortunately I
only had one run on this idea before I took a break to put my boy through
college.
