Your springs are too soft, that's it. Get stiffer springs, done.

Ill put some pics up when I get home for you guys to see how it sits

Ive ordered 225/40 feddy replacements and will be getting them fitted tomorrow... that should fix everything

One question I did have, I have cut a lot of the inner lip of the rear bar away and also the rear bar white plastic support... the only thing I am now hitting on is the metal tab with the bolt that goes through it... what do people do here?

I just can't figure it out- if he doesn't like this sort of thing, why bother, you know? It doesn't mean I think less of him, it just means I don't understand his efforts.

Looks good. Makes me have mixed feelings toward 19" wheels though.

Yeah, I meant that in the sense that 18s look perfect in size! I've been considering 19s, but posts like these are making me lean toward 18s.

No flare whatsoever on the fenders. Just a roll in the rear, not even a pull. Fronts got worked on more from my old setup than anything else hahah. I'm just running a lot of camber. -4.5F and -5.7R

And it's dlum125

Man I don't know how you do it not being able to actually drive the car the way it was meant to be driven. That would drive me nuts with all those beautiful places to drive near you.

Springs are what dictate ride height, and how much they compress. Dampers/struts only control how quickly they jounce and rebound. I run wider tyres and a lower offset and have no problems whatsoever. Only diff is spring rates. (According to his posts)

Wrong.

Shocks play a role in ride height as well. If you have failing shocks your car will drop. I went through this already with everyone telling me shocks had nothing to do with ride height. I had the springs tested by Tein and they were good. The shocks were bad (not leaking) and so I replaced them and all was good.

Why do they make lowering springs, why don't they make lowering shocks?
