since the rear has an appearance of sagging or like there is a lot of weight in the trunk, you need to raise the rear coilover height, if there is still height adjustment. you could lower the front to match, however as stated in previous posts, you increase failure risk on the x-drive half shafts. |

With coilovers, it can take a few tries before you get the height and the dampening to your taste. It will be worth it in the end: raise the rear and stiffen it if you like.

alohasurftoad hey it’s been a while. i’m looking to add wheel spacers to my setup because the rears looking a little caved in. i was thinking maybe 12 mm spacers in the rear i don’t want to poke just want my wheel to be more flush what do you think?

to determine spacer thickness, plumb a string from the top of the fenderwell and measure the distance from the string to part of the upper tire you desire to be flush. that distance will determine your spacer size. |

There are no issues with running sensible sized spacers; fitted properly (ideally with a stud conversion - makes life easier and better than faffing with longer bolts); they'll have the wheels sitting about perfect for you I've run spacers on cars since I was driving Jap import Honda's from the early 2000s My motorsports mechanics set up plenty of pro track cars with spacers for when they're running different wheel/tyre combos and again, zero issues Just avoid cheap eBay crap and stick to decent spacers like Bimecc etc... Don't waste your money on H&R or Eibach spacers (unless you want to); you're mainly paying for a name and their marketing
