A little bit, but why raise the front?? The whole point with coilovers is to let you lower it???

The reason inside >>>

The rear is alllll the way down as far as it will go, and there is still a 1/2in wheel gap.

The front is farr down and has almost NO gap. The car has that RAKED appearance and not sure if im feelin' it on the TT..

I dont really want to lower it, but it kinda looks awkward, when I took pics earlier I didnt take any straight side shots but... idk

I might leave it, idk

Did you remove the white "spacer" plate from the spring mount on the rear trailing arm?

only leave the top black plastic on the rubber, remove any spacer. That will help drop the back IF you want. Other than that ANY changes to ride height will affect alignment.
