Raising back end up

I was having issues with my rear 315/35/17's rubbing the already rolled fender lips on my lowered (Eibach) SS. I put in some of those coil things in the back springs and raised the back end up about 3/4 and inch as a temporary fix for the problem. That was all the room I needed, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution to my problem. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Re: Raising back end up

Is your axle perfectly centered (left to right)? If not, an adjustable panhard rod will let you center the rear to improve clearance for the 315's.

Re: Raising back end up

I've got the Prokit. I have done everything on that site to help them fit, including a panhard bar. The axle is centered and everything. It doesn't rub as of right now because of the spring inserts that I put in, but that is not the end all/permanent solution that I'm looking for.

What are Ground Control weight jackers and what exactly are linear springs.. I'm not very knowledgable on the suspension aspect of things. Do they make the car handle worse? Thanks for the replies, Logan

Re: Raising back end up

Hi, I was wondering where did you get them? how much where they and how did they go in? also can you adjust the height by adding or subtracting them? I lowered my car and would like the rear to be a little higher. Thanks
