Just finishing up my RideTech suspension installation, on my 65 Impala. I am looking for some coil spring cushions for the rear coils. Just called RideTech and Energy suspension nothing, no help at all! My springs are 3 3/4 ID and 5" OD. I would like something about 1/2" thick. Thanks for any help!

I thought this would have a simple answer, but I guess not. So what is the method used to tune ride height with coil springs?

According to one of their forum posts (http://www.ridetech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4926), the only way to change ride height would be to use a totally different spring with a different spring rate.

Here is the springrate calculator http://www.ridetech.com/info/spring-rate-calculator/

Try 4th Gen F-body. They used rubber cushions on the rear springs.

There are a few ways to make the ride height adjustable or at least change the ride height.

You can get some ideas here (http://shop.ronsuttonracetechnology.com/shopping/?ic=7404).
