Bottoming out

A while back i had to get my... torque bar? torsion bar? forget what its called replaced. Also had the back right shock replaced, it was bad/squeaking and all that. Ever since, tho, i've heard a metallic sorta rattle goin over most bumbs, and i theres more than 2 other ppl in my car (and if pretty much anyone is in the back right seat) the back right bottoms out on nearly every bump and turn. My mechanic said that that would have to do with the springs. Jus wanted to get an opinion before i possibly spend a lot/my exhaust and intake funds on new suspension.

I would go out and measure from the ground to the wheel well on each sode of the rear and see if they are close and then also compare it to some else who has a similiar year make Camaro. Your car considering the age really should not have a spring problem.

if i did go and replace srpings, what would be a good choice? eibach? hotchkis? edelbrock?

I personally am a big fan or H&R springs but I have also used Eibach and not have complaints

Well did you measure it and compare cause the springs on your Camaro primary and majority job is ride height.

hotchkis is the way to go.

when you have a bad shock or strut, aren't you supposed to replace both regardless?

look at the shock, ive always been told that if you have a blow shock/strut that the thing will be covered in grime...

i thought so... but only the rear right was replaced. Could that be why? or is it something with springs
