Default Post Coil-Over Install / Ride Height Question...

Hello all.

I just had a set of H&R's installed at ICS last week. They did a very nice job...

I was told the car would settle a bit, and that I should wait a week or so, and then see if the height is what I was looking for.

The car rubs very occasionally and slightly in the front -- only during turns, etc.

So -- should I look at raising the car a bit all the way around? Or should I leave it the way it is, and look at getting the fenders rolled?

Thanks!

Default Wow, that car looks great! I would get the fenders rolled before you raise it :-)

That ride height looks amazing.

Default Insurance is all taken car of, just waiting to see about buy

There are two cars that I'm looking at. I can't decide which to get :-\ One is a stage 3- less miles and an 01, the other is a full stage 3 piggie built car, 00 with 88K. Both are the same price and both are in great conidtion. Obviously the one with less miles is in a little better condition.... Both have their pluses and minus's so I'm not sure what to get. Its basically up to a coil flip.

Default Looks incredible Marc! Just looks mint all around...

I'd try raising it one perch turn at a time until you are not really rubbing. If you end up too high for your taste then roll the fenders.

But if you do decide to roll the fenders, have someone that really knows how to do it well do the work.
