Lowered my car today. Tokico hp struts and sprint 2.25 drop springs.

Front end isn't as low as the back tho.. 1 fingerr gap in the back and 2 or 3 in the front.


Any ideas? Do the springs need to settle some? Its just 1/2 inch difference.

The front fenders always have had a bigger gap. Look at the fender arches themselves, the fronts are noticeably bigger. That's normal. If you want it to look even, you have to add more drop to the front than the rear. You could probably just do the pinchfork mod to get the front down a bit more.

Is the pinch mod just cutting half an inch or so from the top of the fork? Howto is not helping

Yes you cut off about half an inch or so on the fork. I also cut a full coil off my lowering spring.

If you look at post #79 on my thread you'll see where i cut my fork at.
