drive it up on some boards to get the jack back under it, when you get it back on the stands post some pics and im sure some one will be able to help.

thanks for all the info...sorry its an 86gt...i put new upper and lower control arms in at same time as springs...the guys at motorsports are awsome, they said they would send 20 springs til i got the ride height i wanted. verified the part numbers and springs for my application...since talking with them i found the problem ( my own fault, not to proud). its still slightly lower than i wanted but i think once im done it will be ok... got new shocks and struts and spring isolators today, i hope to have em and and be ok... thanks for all the input......

What was wrong? I think i heard they have to be clocked right if you will, to make it set even and the right height.

i put new spring insulators and shocks on it, the insulators helped ALOT. i did clock them also which helped too.... but the cure was all my fault and i dont think anyone else will ever make that mistake...lmao ! now all this being said...kyb front struts for 87 up will not fit 86 even tho catalog says it will.

btw i have the struts for sale or trade.....lol
