is there any way to lower the rear suspension without installing lowering springs?

i did a search about perches, but im not quite sure where to find them or whether they are available for the rear suspension.... so my question is, are they available for the rear and where do i find them?

My guess would be to purchase a rear set of bilsteins and use you stock springs.

why? what does the bilsteins do? are they lower? and where do i get them?

i might as well get some new shocks. do they have bilsteins for the front that DONT have the lower perches?

Bilsteins come with two perch settings. Stock and 7/8" lower. So if you used factory springs on the lower perch you would be sitting 7/8" lower. You can also have custom perches cut into the bilstein shock bodies.

Where would I find these? SOS?

The best prices are from Nopi. I think they run about $480 shipped.

Bilsteins are on back-ordered right now until mid-December. That is the last I've heard.

Their warehouse and offices is only 2 miles from my house.

If you want custom perches cut you may have to go to another vendor. If not looks like Nopi may be the cheapest. You can also check ebay.

My girl secretly loaded up the trunk with rocks last time we were in Austin. On the trip home I thought something was wrong with the car because I laid into it and could barely hit 120.
When we got home I made the discovery.
Car had a good stance, though.

I'm curious why you want to lower only the rear and leave the front the standard height?
