[Tigers] Rear car height/inverted springs!?

[Jim]

My car had a lot of 'tricks' done to it ( some good/lots bad )before I
bought it. It's  a bit low to the ground for my liking and I decided to look
into it this year.
 I addressed the front earlier this winter. The original coils had been
torched off about 2 1/2"... apparently too much as there were coil spacers
installed to try and prop it back up . Not a good thing ! I recently had a
look at the backs. First thing I noticed was that the front bushing was at
the bottom of the eye instead of the top. After removing them I see why. The
main leaf has been inverted !! No wonder it likes to bottom out ! Has anyone
ever run across this before...??
