HELP! (i think) Okay so i had some original problems with the coilovers i recievedoriginally with my MWC rear end and had to send the rear strucks back but they told me to keep the orivinal springs they had sent with a 16" shock. When the struts were too short they sent me new ones which were stock length and much better, but they ahd me keep the 12" springs. Well when i got the springs on the coilover they were about 2 full turns of the collar from the top (sorry i didnt measure with a tape i went by turns) and i got them on the car tonight and i cant get rear ride height over 27 1/4" with me in it at the top or the rear fender. Is this right? The directions that came with the strange shocks said it recommended a 14" spring. the rear end is stiff as ****. Im nearly 300lbs and i get about 3/8" of drop when im in the car. I need to get my fenders rolled cuz im on a 28" tire and im worried about cutting the tire and potentially blowing it out/cutting through the rubber? HEre are a few pictures to explain.
Here is the coilover off the car, spring mounted and compressed about 1/4 turn
Here is ride height with me in the car 27 1/4 rear and 25 1/2 front
Verdict? The car is going to a suspension shop friday to get everything double checked to make sure everything is centered and good (i think im about 1/8" off of that, but a good family friend of mine is double checking everything and welding in my SFC and welding/setting up my ARB.

No it's fine in here. I think your ride height is fine, and I'd leave it there. You don't want the car sitting up too high, there's no need for it. Unless the lower stance is causign you problems on the street with clearnce/bottoming out, I'd leave it there, you should be fine.
Car looks good like that, I like it!
