The problem is not in the shocks Euripides..its the spring length/rate combo that determines the height of the car. (assuming you didn't cut your cartridges).

(May be a smaller bottom spacer bottom and another one on top?) I'll destroy my shocks if I use the APEX? ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Tokico HTS spacer?]](http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y508/Euripides86/Pic1_zpsecdf30f3.jpg "AEU86 AE86 - Tokico HTS spacer?") http://www.ae86.gr |

Hiya,
Don't worry so much!  The springs are suitable for the shocks..HTS's work ok with a wide range of springrates. If the car is not to low, you won't mess up your shocks with the springs. The spacer under the shock is there for one reason only. To ensure that the HTS has a snug fit inside the strut cartridge. If the shock can move around to much in the strut, that causes problems..but I dont think that is the case with your setup right. If you can live with the difference in heights then there is no problem. I wouldn't lower it in the front without going to the full expense of short strokes. Just drive and enjoy what is probably a bad JDM bling photographer (TM: Alimonos) setup, but a decent one to drive. A wheel to steer the front of the car A pedal to steer the rear |

It's not the look i care...
It's different. The normal is higher back. I don't think the steering will be the same...

It sounds like you already have it rolling..why not jump into the car and try it out. You might like it.
If not, the only thing I can come up with is different springs/coilovers... that or cutting the front springs  (cutting them is a bad idea) A wheel to steer the front of the car A pedal to steer the rear |

I didn't pressed to the limit, but I hate the idea of "understeering maybe"... :wink: More tests to run asap to more familiar roads... http://www.ae86.gr |
