What to do with a saggy butt?

[subaru13]

So I lowered my 97 lgt on h&R Springs and kyb gr2's but after having them on the car I have noticed that the butt is getting lower and lower and it not even equal on both sides. After getting my new wheels it is causing problems because the wheels fit on all three corners except the back driver side because that side is significantly lower than the other back side. SO I was wondering what would be the best possible route. I have heard about the saggy butt spacers but what exactly do those do and where would i be able to get them. Or I was also thinking that maybe i could switch the back springs to something stiffer so it wouldn't rub on the wheels. Does anyone know what springs are stiffer than the H&Rs by a signifcant amount. And my last resort would be to roll the fenders but thats a last resort for me.

Does anyone have any insight to this problem?

I have the same setup on my BH and I've never had a problem! Maybe the springs aren't seated into the perches correctly?!

i have spoken.

Yeah I have met you before Nw subie at the arlington subaru specific junkyard and I remember seeing your car. I measured it today on a surface that I know is 100% level and its only a 1/16 of an inch off in the back and 1/32 off in the front

On the saggy butt spacers which ones fit on the lgts and what is the biggest size you can run with the stock tophats?

So what's the consensus? I've got the same problem with Eibach wrx springs with gr2's on my bd. How thick can I go with the stock top hats?

1/4" from what I've heard.

^ how much threading is left past the nuts? that's your answer.

Without needing new studs?

I was hoping to find out without removing my rear seats :P

ok then, according to paranoid fabrications, 1/2" requires longer studs. so that sounds like 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch will work without new studs...

Would a Coil Spring spacer work just as well? Like the one found here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pair-Coi ... ccessories (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pair-Coil-Spring-Rubber-Spacers-Dual-Groove-1-Lift-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2eafde1adcQQitemZ200519064284QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories)

With this you could raise an inch without having to get longer top hat studs.

No, don't use coil spring spacers. It concentrates the entire load of the spring on 1 spot on the spring and can cause it to break.
