would that affect the overall work of the good road magnets


Are you going for looks or handling?

Road Magnets drop the rear 1" and the front 1 1/4", so the front is actually lower than the rear.
Look at the slope of the rocker panels (on level ground) instead of the wheel arches, and you will see the rear is higher than the front.

If you raise the rear you will be pushing the weight distribution forward on a car that's already front heavy.

this is what i was talking about if you put one on the top of each spring in the back it should sit pretty level.

when i had my H&R springs it sagged pretty low in the back an would rub on my tires alot (had 17's lol) i installed these things and it really helped.

like i said eariler tho, they dont so much as rasie the car as prestiffen the springs a little so when the cars sitting on the ground the springs are a little stiffer so it doesn't sit as low.

i didnt use these when i went to the RM's, kinda wish i had though, maybe one day i'll pick up some more.
