    the rear still looks too high to me. i like the wheel gap in the front, only a little bit left. the rear still looks like it has a good 1.5-2" of wheel gap. drop that down to about the same as the front, and the nose of the bird will pop up a bit, and maybe u won't get the scraping u had b4, but it will still look good.

      Did you read any of the posts on this thread?

      The rear in person sits level, I think it is the camera angle that makes the rear look higher.

      I don't scrape anywhere, I said that. I said that it was weird that the other guy was scraping and I haven't. I will get better pics when I can wash it.

        no no, i don't mean make it sit level. look at ur wheel gap from the top of the front tire to the fender, and compare it to the rear. ur rear has more wheel gap, even tho the car sits level. I meant drop the ride height down so that the wheel gap matches the front. u also said ur nose scrapes a bit. if ut drop the rear, it'll pick the nose up a bit from the ground, and maybe reduce the scraping u have on ur nose.

            Yeah, hopefully dropping the rear will educe your scraping problem your having Hawgs...

            In person it looks just right, barely two fingers in front and back, I wouldent remove the spacer thingy.

              So...let me see if I understand this...
              You don't want the car to sit level...
              And you STILL think his nose is scraping after all this? [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img]

                  how much of a drop are those springs? i don't know if it's just me, but i'm not seeing a huge difference between the two pics. the springs will settle though over the next few months and it will drop a little more.

                  did you get an adj phr? i didn't get one right away and after a few months i felt my rear end swinging out on turns like i was fishtailing, but my tires were staying planted to the ground.

                    He did the exact same drop that I did - those springs are 1". It's meant to be a more conservative drop. It's much more noticeable in person.

                      There was a huge difference in person. Everyone could tell... especially with the rears. I don't think those before and after shots do it justice, because I can't really see much difference in the pictures. It's definitely there though.
