    tuckin steelies

    this sorta plays off the last thread but on my 00' ve my rear springs look sagged to the max my stock steelies are almost tucked into the well, ne way i was wondering if you put lowering springs on a car with such a ridiculous sag is it possible that itll be higher than the older ride height? probabbly an obvious question but then again you all didnt become engineers overnight....

    Well, keep in mind that the rear is lower than the front in general. My rear is dropped almost an inch on coilovers. Here's a pic to give you an idea of how that looks.

    how much more than your rear is your front dropped and are those full coilovers or sleeves?

    it's an illusion.. the car can actually be leaning forward, but because the wheelwells are larger up front, it will still look higher in the front.

    I had the same problem with mine (still have for a little while longer), ended up having 2 problems, rear struts we're shot and rear strut mounts we're shot. So I ordered new strut mounts, new Tokico HP struts and some Tein H-Tech lowering springs. And I expect my rear end to be higher than it is now once its installed, but my rear tires we're tucking too...
