Default Crappy springs!!

Ok, here is my predicament. I bought the Tokico suspension kit with Illuminas and Tokico's springs which claim to lower 1.5 all around. My problem is, I don't like the ride height, it seems too low for 1.5. The front is ok, but the back, I only have like maybe one finger gap between the wheel well at most. I want about a 2 finger gap or maybe a little more. What ride height do you guys think that might be and what kind of springs would you guys recommend to give me this height. Thanks a lot.

If you get true coilovers, then they're better than springs.

You could always switch out your H&R springs for some Ground Control coilovers and get some Tokico shocks, you'd be set.

You'll be fine, until you hit a pothole, raised concrete, or stone in the road. Then you'll be posting a topic on what type of helmet you should buy.
