Hi everyone,
The rear ride height on my plus 2 seems too high (it has Spyder rear springs - non adjustable) and I'm convinced the angle that the rear drive shafts sit at is a large factor in the early demise of my donuts.
Has anyone got recommendations for a set of springs that give a decent ride height / drive shaft angle?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi
Are these the smaller Spyder 2 1/4" (I think it is) that you are talking about?
All the best

What is the ride height to top of wheel arches? from memory its normal for them to be 25-26" at rear and look high, then the front 1/2/" to inch lower.

And is that loaded with 500lbs + driver or so?
Does one measure from centre of wheel/hub to wheel arch?

Hi Berni,
No normal sized springs I believe, a direct replacement for the ones they took off when renewing shock absorbers.
