I've got sportlines on my car. I needed to drive the car into work when my truck got burglarized and was in the shop, and we've got a series of ridiculous speed bumps. i've got a moser 9" so i made a pair of 1/2" spacers that sit in the spring cup and raise the rear a bit. gives it a little bit of a raked look. strano springs are going in on monday. the first pic is with no spacer and the 10 bolt, the second is with the moser and 1/2" spacers.

Edit: i added another pic in between, so right below the sportlines is my car with the 9"(which i guess adds a 1/4") and strano springs

So how does one raise these cars? It seems everyone one wants to lower them but you....nothing wrong with that, mine is too low too, I would love to raise the rear of my car too, how do I acomplish that? I have been bottoming out @ 40 mph, ho ****!

Well I like my car lower than STOCK...and that it is, by far...but I have a ground control adjustable kit on my car and the previous owner had it set really low, being he only used the car for road course racing basically...but it was too low for the roads around here, plus it has subframe conectors that give it even less ground clearance...I couldn't even get a floor jack under the car, so I simply adjusted it so it was 3/4" higher... and now I can just barely get my floor jack under it..but the car is still at least 2" lower than stock..

Height when I got it...



Current height...





stock height of my old 99 T/A...definately 4x4

I do not know, I think it is the height of the rear of the car. They look fine in person and from the front and the back, but every pic makes them look like they stick out. They are 315 BFG on 11"rims.

Damn I thought I was sitting low, but you all are getting 25 " on all your cars. I am very disappointed with the previous owner letting who ever welded up the LM ext in the location it sits at. If it wasn't for the y pipe leaning its shoulder like some gangster I would be fine for the most part. Oh by the way front and rear sitting at 26". PS any one running Kooks LT with the 25"-26" height?
