Default STaSIS street sports, Koni Hyperco, sagging in rear

the rake is getting worse and it can't be anything other then the shock/spring combo.

Maybe put some bushings or other things in between the spring and spring perch to bring the car up? ghetto maybe, but My s4 doesn't like this reverse rake and umm neither do I.

And no smartass my trunk doesn't have anything in it, it's emtpy and still sit like an old impala!

Default I assume 2.50" hyperco springs. How long? 8"?

Spacer would be the best way to go. Except I have not see any that are below 1"...

You can also try a spring that is 1" longer... but I have a feeling you only want to go up .5" or less.

If you do not find a spacer that is that high.. a helper spring is about that height. I can get you a set... expensive though - $150.

Default you could space the upper mount to get a little bit more height...

...but it's going to be marginal. Maybe 1/4" if you're lucky (at the damper) which may be enough to get you up there.

Refer to this picture:

You could put in a spacer between number 3 and number 2 (the rubber spring mount) to gain some height.

You're not going to be able to do anything with the lower mount, it's welded to the shock, and it's in a taper design, so it'll be a pain to make anything to space it "up".

Not sure what (if any) warranty hyperco will offer if in fact the spring is losing it's free length.
