(Pic) HR Springs, Rear looks too low? Spring Pads? and Front Strut Tower?
I just had my HR Springs installed. I have a couple of questions on both the front and rear.
Rear:
1. Looks too low.
2. Can I stack the rear spring pads until I get the correct height
3. Have 4 dot rear pads on order will this help? Not sure of rear size now? (Was it a 2 dot)
Front:
1. One of the rubber pads looks upside down, can anyone confirm this.
2. Please post pics of both your left and right front strut towers.
Rear:
1. Looks too low.

Most aftermarket springs produce a 1.5" drop in the front, from 15" to 13.5", and a .50 - 1.0" drop in the rear depending on spring pads, from 13.5" to 12.5" - 13.0" as measured from the center of the hub to the fender lip.
Your car looks great. The front seems to be a little higher than the standards quoted above and the rear seems a little lower. I would guess the front is 13.75" and the rear 12.25". My Carlsson's are currently set at 13.25" front and 12.25" rear. A thicker rear pad will give you some more height if you think you need it. Remember that when the car is loaded in the rear it will drop even more.
What wheels are those?!
