So I got my fenders rolled and trimmed today. I slammed the rear coilovers to the ground and the whole tire tucks w/the top of the rim almost tucking. The fronts I slammed and there was still a 3 finger gap So I dis assembled the coilovers and took off the bottom perch and it gave me another 1 1/2 with still a finger and half gap Car drives fine w/o the bottom perch, rides fine. But the front was lower when I had my KYB's and B&G springs but I don't have those anymore.

Anyone out there have this same problem that has a solution besides running air runner or air bags?? Just a little frustrated after spending money to have the fenders rolled and cut and then all the work to slam the coils and remove the fronts and still not happy Guess I'm just venting, but if someone has a solution please chime in!

TANABE Sustec Pro coilovers is what I'm running...thanks guys!

Maybe you can contact Tanabe. That seems like a disparity for the coilovers to have that big of a difference in lowering.

if you wanna be geto ( lol) you can cut or heat the springs but thats not a good idea,

Wow, something does sound right. Maxed out and still a 3 finger gap, that's almost stock height. You aren't running 13" rims are you ? Is there a bump stop in the way? I agree with Neo contact the vendor and ask some questions.

Definitely doesnt make sense. I have been running my tanabes for a couple years now, and I have never had my fronts or rears any lower than two turns up from the lowest setting. With my 20's right now I cant even fit my finger between the tire and the fender, front OR rear. Same deal when i had 19's as well.

#1GS300 Yeah thanks bud. I'm satisfied with my Tanabe's but if I can't find a solution then I guess I'll be switching suspensions.

My bro gs has the same coilovers so I understand where you cummin from. They used to be mines. Haha If you wanted to go low I had sum tien ha b4 that and it was pretty much lower than the tanabe for sure. But you know what I got airride now and I'm happy than ever Save yo money it's worth it!!

I like the way it sits now but I would rather have the front match the rear. I really don't like it when the rear is lower then the front..
