      On the rear shock it is length adjustable. Take the bolt from the TA off and spin the shock body cup clockwise making the shock assembly shorter, therfore making you ride lower.

              Those tires look super undersized. Looks goofy.

                I am running 87 body with aftermarket bumpers. BC Type BR Coilovers 10k front and 12k rear with 16x8 +20 on 225/50/16 and 5mm spacer in the rear. I was on 'zero' pre-load and it was sitting a bit high. then i gave it about 8 turns on the rear struts to lower it a bit and it's looking pretty good. If i remember correctly, my spring length is 140 or something...

                  Do you have a skid plate? Properly sized tires will effectively raise your ground clearance while still maintaining a tight fitment.

                    Great color! Car looks great, but isn't it bone jarring with those rates? I've got 440/650 and it's a little rough for me sometimes.

                      the tires on my car wasn't over sized. it was stretched. i'm not complaining about the scrapping... it has a real flush look to it, but I already sold this car. picking up a black 4 door.
