Springs or shocks make the ass sag?

[f550maranello2]

ok i have an se... with stock shocks in the rear... i have gr2 in the front.. no the back end seems to sag especially when i put someone in the back seat.. i saw my brother drive away with the car and it just squats and goes... i have subs but i dont think thats what is causing it cuz im running no spare...

any ideas.. the back seems real soft also

springs wear out and sag over time...

[f550maranello2]

hmmm... i dont know if its that or just the shocks cuz they are pretty bad too..

The springs are what hold the car up.

[Biggs]

yeah sounds like the springs.

[Mr Grey]

People under estimate struts. If the struts are blown then the car puts more pressure on the spring.

[Biggs]

well...does the car bounce if you push on it...if it does then it's the struts.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

he never said the struts are blown. sag=worn springs...

[f550maranello2]

well the struts are both leaking like a mofo.. thats why i dont know what to replace first somebody told me that the 97's have problems with the rear springs...

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

the struts are blown, it's obvious they're the problem. Springs are springs, how can they have problems on 97s only? replace the struts, if it still sags, get new springs...

[f550maranello2]

thats what i think im gonna do... cuz when i replaced the front struts the front end rose up like an inch.... and still is higher now and that was like a year ago....
