Default My car is too low!!!
I just had neuspeed race springs and bilstein shocks installed today. I love the way it feels, but i have a ride height problem. My rear is fine, like 1.5 fingers, but my front end is slammed down to tire level. It looks cool and really aggressive, but I scrape on everything from inclines to curves. Is there anything I can do to raise the front an inch or 2? They guy at the shop mentioned getting the shocks slotted for $25 a peice and then reinstalling. Suggestions?

Default he is talking about having a maching shop groove them
that allows the springs to sit on a higher groove allowing the car to ride higher.

Default that is the only way your going to get the car to ride higher
the springs are also going to sag a little so the car will be even lower. I would get it done if I was unhappy with the hieght.
