What options/brands of 30.0”-30.5″ (Rear Springs Only) Are Out There/Available?

You don't want 30.5's with AWD. Even with corrected geometry from djm upper arms, you don't want to go lower than 31" up front because it binds the hubs, increases frictional power loss and dramatically reduces lifespan of hubs. W/ 31" up front, you want the 31.5" springs out back.

Makes sense. I got carried away and now the front is at 29.5” (front Belltech 2” lowering springs with Belltech adjustable front struts).

I will look into ordering a pair of rear 31.5” (Belltech?) then play with the front strut rings to get it up-to 30”s

Wont have time to get it done before going to the dyno tuner this week though.

If you change your mind, I have a never used set of Belltech 30.5” rear springs in storage that I never used.

I didn’t have time to get the suspension raised back up to 31/31.5 by appointment time for the AWD dyno tuning. Hopefully, it won’t hurt the numbers too bad....
