Raked stance
 
Im currently running H&R Supersports and 18" FR500's, it looks good but its slammed. I want a raked look and the car doesnt have that, in matter of fact the front looks higher then the rear. What would you guys recommend doing to get the rear end up a bit higher? I dont want to lower my front anymore since the car is a DD. Im thinking of maybe doing 8 cylinder fox springs in the rear to get some extra height, or maybe going with nitto 305/45/18's but Im pretty sure they'd rub bad if I went with a tire that tall and then Id end up having to do new springs in the rear anyways. Anyone have any other suggestions? Pics of raked stances along with what springs and wheel/tire combo youre running would be nice to see.

maybe some polyurethane Isolators will pick the back up some

if you still have your stock rear springs you can cut a coil off.

I threw out the stock springs unfortunatly, and my car has all the isos in it still. Do the poly ones add some height?

i ran diff springs in the front than the back lol...felt i had the same problem you did, looked like it was squating, turns out when i measured it the back was a 1/4 inch higher, but never looked that way so i dropped the front a total of 2.1 and left the back at 1.5

i kept my stock springs in the rear and dropped the front 1.2 inches.... the 315's filled out the rear enough for me!

mine right now has a 1.5 drop up front and about 2/3 coil cut on the back with a stock spring and poly iso's. it has a definate rake just overall is too high for me. were doing my longtubes this weekend and then im going to see how much more i can drop it safely so i dont drag when i come on and off base.

dont raise the rear, lower the front. if you did that then you will like the look a lot better.

DS002 05-02-2009 08:22 AM

Theres no way I could and keep my sanity while driving it, the car is slammed in the front and already scrapes on everything. H&R SS's just lower the car too far in the rear. Ill take some pics after to show you guys how much gap I have up front and how much I have in the rear.
