I have 06 peirce and can not get the rr spring from bowing out is there a secret that I am missing. I bought this car used with no rearend and trying to put together I have the swivel cup on the rearend and it don't matter what I do I can't get the spring to be straight or I should say the angle right. But I did try a 16" spring and it works but the car is way to high and the spring is against the spring plate only adjust is down. Any help thanks

dont know much about pierces but i think a 16 might be a bit too big for the car on the rr. i think most setups run a 13". also, on the rr because the tire goes upwards and in during bump the spring will always kinda bow a little bit while static. if it was straight up and down it would bow inwards when the tire traveled up.
