Tyler, do you have any vr6 spring mounts, or know where to find a couple? The front of my car looks like the back of yours does ;D  4-5" of lift. Not that I mind it, but it might drop down an inch or two if I get the right spring mount on there 8)

Hey Bob,

No I don't have any. I would have offered them to you already if I did. I should check my setup though, it's been a while but I don't remember even having those on my car haha.

I would like some pictures of your car though :)

BTW I think the springs changed Spring Seats after 1996, so if you used springs from before that they might have fit the old spring seats

Actually wouldn't be a bad idea! I don't mind the lift, but it looks funny being higher in the front than in the back. It is riding great. I just took it on 20 miles of logging roads today through the North Carolina mountains and it handled like a champ ;D  After I find the right spring mount for the front I'll see how it looks, Then use hockey pucks in the back to even it out if I need to.
