My question is this...did they have different springs from 1992 to 1993 in the GXE models? My parts car doesn't squat in the rear at all when the front is raised but my DD squats bad when jacked up. Are my springs shot or were there different spring rates for different years?
Thanks a lot guys!!

Same springs on all the GXE's IIRC. I know the SE's had slightly bigger real stabalizer bars but that wouldn't cause any ride height difference. Your shocks are probably very worn or shot in your DD and they just slosh around. If the other car stays planted at the same right height even when stresses are on other parts of the car or on it, it shows you have nice tight springs and/or good struts. I would swap the entire rear strut towers and put them on yours if I were you.
Depending on how down on cash I was. If I had a little I'd just buy good struts/springs (tokico/koni, and some eibachs) and run with that since your suspension components need to be fixed anyway. But even the 1993 you have is better than nothing.
