Installed my coilovers over the weekend. This is how she sits as of right now. Should I:

a) Raise the front slightly and lower the rear slightly
b) Raise the front slightly but leave the rear
c) Lower the rear slightly but leave the front
d) Do nothing

Raise the front and rear a little. Take a look at pictures of Pete's, my and Skip's old car to see where we run the cars. You look a little low forward and aft for handling purposes.

These cars (read most cars) handle best when only slightly lowered. Go too low and suspension geometry starts to get a little out of whack. It definitely looks better low but I can't argue that it's actually better.

Yeah, choice a) is what I was thinking after looking over things but I just wanted to post and hear some opinions. Will probably do that tonight.

Get it aligned and corner-balanced to get the best out of them.

I agree with Rob. This is what my cars looks like...




Although there is not much of a difference. Even art my ride height, I have destroyed my front fender liners (running 571 springs and CT comp bar set full stiff).
