Rear spring spacer question
Anyone know the right combination of rear spring spacers for a 89 Z51 coupe? It is listed in the factory shop manual. My car has been apart so long I can't find my notes on their order. But I finally have a new spring and want to put in this weekend. Thanks. :)

Hey, i "belive" it is 2 above and two below, there will also be the paper type adhesive ones that may or may not be still attached to the housing,,,,either way tighten them evenly and make sure it goes together smoothly,,,,if it is off center it can crack the lower spring bracket, i learned the hard way :lol: goodluck :cheers:

Re: Rear spring spacer question (Bob Thomas)
If you want to modestly lower the rear (and more effectively than long bolts)just put all spacers under the spring. It will give you whatever the total thickness of them happens to be. ~1.250"? Make sure you get it aligned after you put it all back together regardless of any match marks etc. you may have made. Those cam bolts are notorious for moving anyway.
