question on rear suspension
the other day I was playing around and when I would hold the brake and power up the engine (like I was going to power brake) and the right rear of the car dropped a good 3-4 inches. is this normal? if not and I need to replace the spring, should I go with the composite? maybe I am just being stupid, but the rear really felt like it was going to hit the ground. I checked all the bushings, and the spring pack and found nothing broken. is there a way to check for sure or something else that I may be missing. thanks

the car sits normal and level on a "know level" surface. The shafts are pretty close to level with the horizon. the angle up to the center just a small amount when on a level surface. would a 360 comp spring help a bit or just make the ride suck?

These cars are known to 'squat' before they take off...it's kind of a signature thing.
So long as everything is in good working order, and nothing actually hit the ground, it's probably just normal squat you felt.
