What to do with the rear of the car??
So I'm running 24.5'' tall slicks in the front with the car raised almost to stock height to clear (Groung Controll Coil overs). What should be done with the rear. Leave at street height(2 inch drop) or raise it a little to sorta level it out, or raise it to match the front?? This is of course for the track. Any info/experience appreciated.

Ok, but that doesnot answer the question. What height would be perfered? droped 2 inches, raised up but not as much as the front, or match the front (stock height).
Have Koni yellow's with ground controll coilovers.

i would match the rear and go from there, try diff things. diff things work for diff cars and set ups. i was told not to jack the rear higher like i was used to , becuase yoo much stress on the axles.

If you got adjustable shocks and skunk2 drag springs for the back, there would be no adjustment for the rear.
