No, really. I've added an A&A blower to a car that was already lowered. After the blower, the nose literally dragged on the ground. I turned the adjustment bolts all the way, as far as they would go, and now my big spoiler underneath the nose is maybe an inch off the ground. Indeed, it drags on the ground in reverse.

How do I get the nose higher? Is this some kind of failure or wear out of something? The car has 75K miles, and it's been on the same set of Bilstein Sports pretty much the entire time, all with stock spring.

If anyone else has had to deal with this and found a good solution, I'm all ears!

Thanks.

No, I drove the nuts as far as they would go, and that moved it up significantly from where it was, but it was on the freakin' ground. I can drive it now, but there is not much room.

But a good first guess, I suppose.
