[QUOTE="2012 Boss 302, post: 11901283, member: 137895"] Just purchased a '12 Boss 302. LOVE IT !!! :dancenana: One problem, this thing wheel hops worse than my Pontiac G8. My plan, maybe taking it autoxing once or twice a year. With that in mind it will be predominately a street car. [U]Questions:[/U] 1) BMR sells a set of rear springs that are a linear rate 160 lb/sq.in. The stock rear Boss springs are approx. 180 lb/sq.in. The BMR springs will lower the rear 1.25". My thought, a softer spring will need a stiffer swaybar to maintain the factory handling. [B]Is this correct thinking? What kind of handing issues are there by just leveling the ride height?? Anyone make a rear spring that will lower the car with the same spring rate as stock??[/B] 2) I understand that the wheel hop issue can be solved with control arms. I have also seen LCA relocation brackets. I always thought these brackets were for drag racing.
