Lowering Springs

I Recently Lowered My Nordic Green Rx8. The Kit Said It Would Lower Front And Rear 1.75". I And Having Rubbing Issues In The Front. It Seems Alot Lower In The Front Than 1.75". Is There Anything I Can Do To Raise The Front To Avoid Buying A Whole New Set Of Springs? I Am Only Looking For About A Half A Inch.

That's weird. Your springs must be sagging. Did you get an alignment after you installed your springs?

Hey Thanks, The Adr's Are 19" I Have 245/35/19 Bf Fuzion's On Them. Does Anyone Know Of A Site Where I Can Order Springs Seperately. I Wish I Could Just Get The Fronts. The Back Sits Nice.

Nice rims. Sorry about the springs. I can recommend the Tanabe GF210s though (1.4"F and 1.2"R). I got them from hopupracing.com $177 shipped.
