Need input from org... springs problem.
Went and bought tokico springs and shocks and struts. Put a system in trunk and stance looks off slouchy in rear. I was looking to put a rubber in the rear that will raise an 1". Don't have a solution for front would like to raise 1/2 to one inch any solutions?????? I thought of these rubber these that will extend springs but not sure will stay in place.
Thanks jl.

Lowering springs in NYC? i can barely deal with KYB's on factory springs. One thing you may try is a set of spring boosters, although i have nothing positive to say about them. Not to mention that i think they reduce the amount of spring travel.

Yeah I hear you. I messed up big time. I have to return a front strut to Tokico thats why I bought them with the lifetime guarantee. I have to put a longer bump stop and might have to find SE stock springs. The lowered springs are nice on the highway but locally its a disaster. Avoiding the potholes is a fulltime job. They are hard to spot sometimes and a tear almost comes out of the pain and suffering... they really shake you up. Suspension's take a beating in the winter time also when the salt reveals the land mines.
thks for your advice.

Try Tein H-tech springs. S-techs will be level but will ride rough. You CAN try stock rear springs.
A machine shop can make steel or aluminum discs (actually an almost diamond-shaped spacer in the same shape of the top mount would be the best) that will allow you to level things up. If you want to go that way, I would recommend placing the spacer in between the top strut mount and the body. This will maintain full strut travel. There is plenty of stud length on the top mount to allow a 1/2-3/4" spacer with enough threads to allow a nut to be secure on the top.
