Car is too Low (Falken Springs with A-spec Struts)

[Action Jackson]

Ignore the Yellow MSP (sorry Jon!).

Here's a picture of Jeremy's sedan with with B-Spec springs, MSP adjustible struts and MSP Sway Bar Kit in track trim.

And here's a picture of my car with B-Spec springs, Tokico Illuminas and MSP Swaybar kit in track trim.

You'll notice that the sedan sits higher in the rear, and my car sits higher in the front.

Its not even possibble on any normal road for the Lateral arms to touch anything...I didnt see any scrapes in the pic..All I saw was a bunch of road grime and what looked like salt everywhere....?

I agree with you. I guess something else is scrapping in the back. My mechanic didn't see any fender rubs.

Update-Installed B-spec springs today

Just picked up the car from the shop and no more scrapping or rubbing. The car handles way better than before and I love the way it drives.

So here's lesson I learned...Next time get the proper paired springs and struts.

No pics until sometime next week (camera is broken). The front sits about a inch higher and the back is about half an inch higher than before (falken springs with a-spec struts)

nothing comes close except for *real* coilovers

yes the tires are too big that's one of the problems...
he's supposed to use 205/50-16s or 195/55-15s

Yeah but it's tough to find proper tire sizes for snow tires.. and the oem P5 size is 195/50-16 (but I'm sure you know that).

I run 195/55-16 snow tires and my rear gap (or lack thereof) looks very similar
