I picked up my freshly de-arched rear spring today.  I measured before I
took it off the car and decided that 1.5" was enough drop.  I reinstalled it
tonight and it seems to be just what I wanted. The place I took it to said
they didn't have any kind of teflon strips to put in-between the leaves, so
when I got it home I spread the leaves slightly with a screwdriver and
sprayed some white lithium grease in there to reduce friction. I didn't cut
the ends off the second leaf after hearing the breakage horror stories. Best
part of the story is the shop only charged me $10, I think it was a mistake
but I questioned it and the guy replied *That's what the ticked says.*
