Lowering Question

I've been looking into getting a pro kit or a DMS kit. I like the DMS because it will give the raked look that I like but I also like the way that the pro kit looks on some cars. I know all cars are different and Ive seen the pro kit on cars and the rear looks too low and on others it looks just right. My question is, if I get a pro kit and install it and I think the rear looks too low what can I do to raise it up just a little?

I wouldnt get Eibach, I hear they sag in the back with time, which probably explains the low rear end. I will send you some pics of my Hotchkis when I get them. But the rear end looks kinda shitty like I said. I'll park it on a hill

See Ive heard the same abouty eibachs but Sam said that he has never had a problem with them sagging. So do you have Hotchkis on the car now or are you getting them?

I hate my Eibachs . . . SLP and the Pro Kit . . . might as well have sold me marshmallows . . hell they'd ride better . . . The front springs are fine the rear are soooo soft, and sag . . .

Ive heard that the eibachs that SLP sells with their kits are different. I cant remember where I read that but I do remember people saying that its not the same.
