Default Springs Sagging

I have a set of Neuspeed Race springs on OEM shocks in a 98 DC & Drop Zone Sport springs on Drop Zone non-adjustable "Race" shocks in a 92 EG. I have noticed both cars seem to sagging in the ***!!! Neither set of shocks is blown in either car. I actually took the rubbers out the front shock cup trying level out a little. Anyone have or have had this problem with these type of springs or other types of springs... Any ideas on how to fix???

How are you measuring? The best measurement is from the side jack points, not the fender gap.

An even drop will look lower int he rear, due to the fender shape. The front opening is larger, to allow the tires to turn. If you want it to look level, you want the front around 1/2" to 3/4" lower than the rear.

If you just want to adjust it without buying anything, do the "shock fork trick" in the front for a slight additional lowering and see if that gets you where you want it.
