Has anyone run into this problem?
I just replace the upper and lower control arms as well as the springs. I also replaced
the rubber isolators for polyurethane.
Now the rear of my car sits like it is a 4X4.
The springs are the same height as the stock ones so i am thinking that i just need to cut a coil off with my cut off wheel.
Maybe it's everything combined?

the car will settle probably another 1/4 to 1/2 an inch over the next couple weeks, if that not enough for you then by all means do some cutting. I wouldnt cut more than a half a coil at a time though to be safe, as you can't put it back one once you cut it. Also remember the spring will act stiffer the shorter you cut it.

could it have to do with your shocks in the back? mine sits too low

I know with the Eibach springs you actually have to set them a certian way. The coil end has to face inside the vehicle I believe. Not sure if yours is like that or if it would make a difference.

I'm not sure. I did however set the starting coil facing the rear of the car. I have adjustable shocks and they are set pretty hard at the moment. The wheel lip sits a good 3-4 inches above the rear tire. I will set the shocks to a softer setting and drive it around a bit before
rushing into the cutting.

I would hate to cut drag springs. Its gonna make them stiff. I would call the manufacturer.

strange man, mines got eibach drag springs and 50/50 struts in rear and im surprised it doesnt rub with only one person in the back seat.

I still have not driven the car just yet as i'm replacing the gas tank.As soon as i get it all together i will drive it around and hope it settles down.
Thanks guys, i'll let you know this weekend.
