Now the back sits lower than the front... I give up with these cars, apparently no one can make a suspension that is actually right.

Default Yea it's bilsteins. I assume I have to do this all over again to get a spacer in.

It's just pretty weak that we have to go through so much effort to correct product errors after paying thousands of dollars for the parts. It would be nice if a company could just get it right for once.

Default Now I noticed that I also have that height problem!

Car sits about 10mm lower on the rear, and I also have Eibachs/Bilsteins, I am going to make an aluminium spacer for the rear shocks.

Default Get the ECS one.

Or at least make sure that the one you make is grooved so that it covers the snap ring on the shock body. It will not be pleasant if the ring pops out.
