is it a special kind of coil over spring? because im buyin daves coil over kit my whole car is soon to be tubular and i jus cant figure it out so do i jus buy a shorter spring?
 
If your going to be running coil overs then you can adjust ride height a few different ways. You can change the mounting height of the coil over, you can adjust the spanner nuts on the shock body to raise/lower the car, and depending on your spring tension it can help lower the cars stance. If your just going to run a factory style rear spring and a seperate shock, then you would simply run a shorter spring as well as a spring with different tension.

In order to use those whoever is working on you car needs to know ahead of time that's what your using. They need to weld different/new mounts on your axle to relocate the coil over. Ive got a hatch with stock style rear springs and 50/50 shocks with an anti roll bar welded in. Car goes 10.80's on motor(302), and hooks amazing on the street as well. Car doesn't twist or do anything stupid what so ever. Full power interior blah blah blah. Up to you what you want to use for the rear suspension. In my opinion coil overs aren't nessicary unless you plan on making this a track only vehicle.

Gotcha. Just be careful of who you let help and who you take advice from. Good luck.
