  • 2 fat guys and a skinny chick

    need to ask you guys a quick question.
    me , my buddy and his wife all carpool together, i drive, his wife rides shotgun and he rides in the back(wife wont let him ride upfront). my festy started to bottom out when we hit bumps, go figure, my buddy goes at 275, well i put some new rear struts on, but it didnt do the trick, any suggestions for the rear springs? im not tring to sink alot in it, because its just a work car, any suggestions would be great

              I agree! Front Festy springs in the back is the best way to go on a budget.

                              years ago a guy i know put a 2x4 between the coils to jack up the back end. it was about 1976 when i was told this but he also told me i did not need a radiator shroud and my car over heated.
