take out the spring isolaters in the rear and slide some 5/8's heater core hose over the top round of the rear springs,,gets it down another 1/2 in or so,,i put my strano springs on and it was slammed in the front with still a pretty big gap in the back ,,hose mod made it perfect ,,for me anyways

I got this from ls1tech, should help you

Step 1: Buy heater hose. You will need 3 feet of hose. I used 1/2 inch. You can use 3/4 inch or 5/8 inch, but the 1/2 inch was snug enough for me.

Step 2: Raise the rear of the car. Support the rear with 2 jackstands, letting the rear hang freely.

Step 3: Remove the spring. Compress the spring until you can take it off of it's perch. I was able to do this with my hands. Some people need to unbolt the shocks to take the springs. If this is necessary, a 13/16" socket is needed.

Step 4: Remove rear isolator. The rear isolator is the rubber disc that sits on top of the spring. Set it aside after removing the spring.

Step 5: Cut hose in half. Cut your 3 foot section in half. Use one section for each spring.

Step 6: Place hose on spring. Lubricate the hose/spring lightly with some WD 40 or Fluid film in my case. Coil the hose onto the spring as far as you can. You should have no more than 2 inches of excess hose extending from the edge of the spring. This will insure (http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/1131052-heater-hose-mod-writeup.html#) that there will be no metal to metal contact between the car and spring. Trim off the excess.

Step 7: Reinsert spring. Slide the spring into place until it rests on its perch. Make sure the top is flush with the body. Rebolt the shock if you unbolted it

Repeat for the other side. Then stand back and admire your lower stance! Install time is 30-45 minutes. Average drop is 1/2-3/4 inch. Some people have reported a 1 inch difference. A great mod for a few bucks.
