Default Rear sits a little high, anyway to bring it down? (picture)

As far as suspension goes, its has Dynamic Motorsports (DMS) lowering springs from a group purchase from cz28.com prob back in 2003. Dble Adj. panhard rod, Adj. lower control arms and relocation brackets.

The car has always had a bit of a rake to it, and I think I'm at the point where I'd like to bring it down a little bit. Any suggestions?

This is how the car sits now (taken last weekend)

Just take out the rubber isolators where the rear springs sit on and do the heater hose mod(shove a piece of heater hose on the first coil of each spring)!

Got bored and did this today. Perfect! Thanks guys!

Edit: Makes those 315's look wider than what they did now that they're tucked up a little more

I had been before actually, but with the LCA's and the LCA relocation brackets it took a lot of the "squatting" characteristics out of the car. So even with bringing it down further I don't have those problems. LCA's and LCA relocation brackets have been without a doubt the single best suspension mod. No squatting but really helps put the power to the ground!

Thanks for the compliment!
