Just added H&R spring need help.

I just added 19" wheels and a H&R spring kit. I think the front looks good but, the rear is too low. Is there anything that can be done to bring the rear up a quarter to a half inch? I've heard people mention "spring pads". Would that bring the rear up a little? Here is a shot of the car.

I agree, I like a slight rake look or having an even gap front to rear. The car is probably dead even it's just that some mercs and bmws tuck the rear tires a bit more due to the fender design.

My car is still stock height and the body shows a slight rake but the front gap is larger than the rear. Your correct with the spring pads. You'll have to remove the rear springs, find out what pad # you have and change it to the next one up.

Beautiful car.

The wheels looks really nice. Get spring pad#4 if you want to have higher on the back. Let us know how it turns out
