coil over + ride height
I just got my car on the ground after adding qa1 semi coilovers with 450lbs springs. Center of my wheel arch is 27" with 245/45r17, heres the kicker the coils are near the bottom of the threads for adjustment, anyone else encounter this ?

Are you using QA-1 450# springs? I tried talking to their "TECHS" till I was blue in the face about how I had 550# before and no matter what their charts said with the pound weight of the front of my car that their lighter taller 450's springs would work.
Well they don't work
and lucky for me i found out that speed direct was selling spring sets for about $100 delivered. They are shorter and consistent diameter. they came with a bigger dia collar. So I bought 600, 650, and 700's
650 is what i use on the street with my really light front end and street tires
