Thread: Want to lower your car? Look in here!!

I have them but i have struts which apparently raise the car.

So my car went up about a quarter of an inch.

Which isn't bad considering I was having ground clearance issues.

How do different struts change the height? I thought that's what springs are for...

They have less travel, collapsed height isn't as small as stock.

So you end up a little higher.
