C36 Need advise on height correction after Vogtland Install
So as the title states I'd love some advise on correcting my height. Ar present i'm about 3/4 of an inch lower in the back than the front. My current set up is Vogtland springs with #1 pads front and rear.
My current plan is to install the stock pads on the rear which are 18mm thick but that's only going to bring me up 10mm as the current pads are 8mm. I've read on some other threads where the pads are installed on the top and bottom of the springs any input on this. If i'm able to accomplish using two pads I think I'll be exactly where I need to be just not sure if that's possible.
My ideal stance would be a slight rake. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
i run #1F/#4R with a raked stance on my c43 with vogtlands and koni yellow shox
yours is a bit low in the rear which doesn't cope with front, try with thickest rear pad and you will probably be good?
you might have rub issues in rear with heavy load and pasengers?

#1 pad is 5mm thick
#4 pad is 17mm thick
Thanks for the feedback your proposed solution is my exact plan. Mind sharing a pic?
sure, here are 2 photos after my vogtland install
i can only fit my smallest finger almost halfway into the wheelarch, wheelgap looks good now
That is a perfect stance! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to take it back to the shop this Saturday to get the wheels and tires installed and while at it will have the #4 pads installed on the rear and re aligned. I appreciate the help bud.

At present i'm running the lowest which in my case is 8mm and I'm 1" lower than the front. The only option I have is to re install the stock pads on the rear which after cross checking the stamped part # is 18mm. From other posts I've read for every 5mm you add via the pad the car raises 7-9mm+/- I'm hoping that's true.
