Default a little lift?

I have the Cervini C series kit on my 06 Mustang GT. Is there any way to lift the front of the car? At times the front scrapes when pulling into driveways. If I can only get the front up just a little. I bought the twist in coil spring boosters, but will not work because the car has struts and the springs have too much gap to install the boosters. Any ideas here?

I think your best bet would be coilovers. I have tein type Flex coil overs and you can change the hight a lot. I dont know how much higher you can go with them, but these coilovers have two hight ajustments on them so there worth a try

Just my 2 cents tho

If you use the Roush springs to lower only the rear, it will effectively raise the front end just a bit. I did that and it seemed to alleviate most issues. The biggest issue I had (even before springs) was the exhaust clamps hitting, but they may have fixed that in later kits.

Are you already lowered? Most of the coilover kits I have seen lower the car even at their highest setting. If you have the money, your best bet may be bags up front to raise it slightly when you need to.

What about a slightly taller tire? That would get the car off the ground easily another 1/2 inch. Then, use a tuner to correct the speedometer.

What's the largest diameter that will fit without rubbing?

Wish I could help...running stock springs now and might drop the back with the roush rears. I had them and sold them and now I want them again (after new taller tires though)

Like said above, taller tires would be my choice. They would probably be the cheapest option as coilovers are expensive.

you could try putting some hose on the springs where they sit in the perch,would raise the car maybe 1/2" if you did top and bottom,cost you next to nothing except for time.


mine scrapes every where i go,i just hit everything at a angle and usually wont scrape. i have eibach pro kit with a very low lip.
