Help: Possible Koni Suspension issue
Today I wanted to try on epuffy's 12mm spacers so I jacked up the front of the car using the donuts. I have Koni adjustable shocks and B+G Springs. As I jacked up the car I noticed that the wheels remained on the floor a lot longer than i thought they did before.
the chassis Was at least 13 inches off the ground and the wheels were just barely starting to lift.
Is this normal ? I have also noticed my front wheels seem to be in slightly further at the top than at the bottom.

The top of your wheel in further than bottom is called Negative Camber >>>
some of us pay extra to be able to adjust this on the front ourselves... called Ground Control ;-P
Where is Major Tom tonight ?

doesn't sound like a problem...
i seriously doubt the range of suspension travel changed drastically... pretty much impossible.
as for the "more in at top than bottom" that's a function of wheel alignment, specifically camber, and what you describe is negative camber, which is appropriate.
