Default EK lower in the fron than back?

I recently lowered my car, I bought some skunk2 adjustable coilovers, and skunk2 racing shocks. I installed them and set them as low as they can go, but for some reason my car sits VERY low in front and kinda low in back, here is a pic of how it sits now.



I want it to sit like this



What can I do to lower the back more?

/\ Seriously? No but how is that black one so low in the back? Do you think he removed the bump stops or whatever they are called?

i doubt hes runing skunk2s,
i have them, all the way down in front, minus 1 adjuster and it just bearly got rid of the gap. back is half way.

hes prolly runing full coilovers, functionform will get you very low.
but you can try pulling bump stops, and 1 adjuster, and see where that gets you.
also coilovers need time to settle!, i would be suprised if your car isnt a lower after some driving.

my tires are kinda small.

My rota's are 16"

yea it helps to a smaller tires.
i suggest raising them up for a month or a 1-2k miles and try again, they need time to settle.



you want to go lower then that?? it might even be harder for you to tuck just because the tires are so little.

did you have to keep the adjustment half way in the back so that it went down in that grove? if so that is why!


nice car though

looks good now get some lca's and show off

but id let them settle some, they probaly drop another .2 inches if they settle in
and i would think that the car would go lower than that on coilovers but whatever

nice car
oem front lip ftw
