Ok. Here's my question (s): After I installed mine, I had my ride height almost perfect with VERY little fender gap (see pic). However, after I tightened everything up and went down my driveway (slight slope and turn), my R/F fender was ON my tire. So, I jack it back up, and turn the shaft up about an inch. I go to leave, sits fine. However, when I hit a bump, I can hear the tire hit the fender. Also, when I'm making slower turns (smaller radius), I can hear my tires scraping my inner fender. As for the inner fender, I may just take those out and find an alternate route of covering my wiring harness under there.

Here's what I need to know: How compressed are your front springs? I'm wondering, that if I compress my springs a little more, if that will allow me to adjust the height back down (since there SHOULD be less travel in the spring)?

well u could adjust the damper to be stiffer in front couldnt you? that would make you bounce less and therefore not bottom out your wheel wells on bumps...ur car is awesome tho man!
