my car is lowered on ground control coilover and illuminas. i have 16" rims and there is no fender gap on all four corners. my rears are not resting on the bumpstops but my front is. anyone know how to get the front of the car off the bumpstops and still have no fender gap? and why would my rear not be resting on the bumpstops like the front?

cut the bump stops.
When I nstalled tein s-tech springs on my '92 si The instruction sheet said I had to cut 1.4" off the fronts and .8" off the rears.

they are cut. as of now they are cut in half if i remember correctly. its been a while. some people suggested i cut them so they are 1 inch long. would that help?

Ground Control has some front shock mounts that offset the top of the shock upwards. I forget how far it moves the shock, but it should get you some travel back.

my car rides like absolute crap now. i finally got a chance to hit the freeway. OMG. dips make the car go crazy. im think about just throwing on some h&r race springs on my illuminas instead now.

i dont think im too low. im only low enough to eliminate the fender/wheel gap. thats not too bad. im not even tucking tire.

if your A arm is higher than parallel your too low ( for handling anyway)

you should cut your bumpstop roughly in half

you can also get some yop hats that give you a bit more suspension travel to make your shocks more effective
