Taking care of my friend's 95 GSR while he's in Iraq. He's never seen the car before cause he bought the car before he left and I picked it up after he was gone. The car is too low for it's own good and he wants adjustable springs. Suggestions?

is it stock height or stock springs? He can probably get coilovers, either sleeved from Ground Control, or full coilovers form Tien.

The car is lowered. The front scrapes on everything! Alot of the time, going at an angle doesn't work either. The car would be alot more fun to drive if i didn't have to worry about the front scraping.

hmm i wonder how low it can be.. pics?

Sorry, no pics. The wheels go inside the wheel wells. A ricer owned it before me. The front is only about 4" off of the ground. The moron didn't even fix the camber so the wheels butterfly out.

But my friend keeps talking about "adjustable springs" that he wants me to put on this car (remember, the car is his when he gets back from Iraq). I've never heard of adjustable springs before, and it doesn't really sound like a good idea anyway (compressing the springs to adjust ride height). Basically, he wants to be able to adjust the ride height to his car. Is he confusing adjustable springs with adjustable shocks?

He's talking about coilovers.

Coilovers allow you to adjust ride height after they have been installed?

yes... they have a spring attached to perch, that you you can adjust.

Cool, thanks. I'm new to the import scene.

yeah i'd go with some ground controls. Also get some aftermarket shocks with them if the stock shocks are on the car currently
