Ok So I Put on some coilover sleves and lowered my car but i was wondering if my back end is slightly lower like 1/3 inc in the wheel to fender gap then the front will this effect anything i just thought since the front holds up more weight and dips harder into turns it would be smart to give it a little more clearance so im not bottoming out and hitting the inside of the fender on turns

what shocks are you running?

Yeah, what shocks are you running? And what coilover manufacturer? I don't think you will have a problem with the rear being lower. It will just look a little weird, IMO. I would make the front and back level, or if anything, have the back just slightly higher. How low is your car?

I got stock shocks with no name coilover sleves from good old ebay but im riding on 13 inc rims i wanted to just make the wheels flush with the fender so theres no wheel gap but my concern was the rims hitting the inside of the fender on tight turns or bumpy roads so thats why i left the gap my car is like 4 inches in the front from the ground to bottem of the front bumper and also how much room can the rims travel up in the wheel wells

You're probably gonna blow the sh*t outta those stock shocks being that low! I doubt your tires will hit the fenders due to the stiffer springs, but your ride is probably going to be bouncy as hell being dumped like that on stock shocks. Good luck bro.

Stock struts dont handle lowering's that well. They will blow very soon.

I agree your gonna have problems and a shitty ride but the back being slightly lower than the front wont make a difference

i made the springs even it rides alot better so i think this problem is solved for now till the shocks blow out then its tien or skunk full coilovers for me i just need to save the cash so hopefully it holds up for another month or two if i go easy i guess wish me luck haha :

Just dont dump your suspension and keep about an inch or so gap between the tire and the fender and you will be fine. I ran sleeves on stock struts like that for 2+ years and they didnt blow since i didnt dump my car.
