Question on the springs/rake look
please pardon the lighting conditions in the 2nd pic, but it's the latest and best i could find based on my question...
ok, so i've had my CT's since March '02, and when i used to park at the folks' place, i would always park facing down our hill, like so...
so i don't think i ever really let the rear's settle all that much...now i just got the Koni's a few weeks ago, and i got a nasty rake goin now
i put all my dumbells (100+ pounds) and my golf clubs (bout 30 pounds) in the trunk about a week ago and wanted to know if there was any other way to let the rear's kinda catch up to the front's

I love the rake but you could have a machine shop put another groove it the konis to lower the rear a bit. Or just use the lower groove depending on how much lower you want it.

what he said the konis allow for additional drop if you got the standard yellow(not neuspeed) then the rears can be lowered .75 inches or 20 mm if you did buy the neuspeed then you have 2 lower perches in 10mm increments

an adult perspective
yours looks exactly like mine, and all I have are the front Comptech Springs - the system has taken care of some of the back, but I'm still trying to get some information about the possibility of going to the Neuspeed Koni's so I can put the rear Comptech's on and not return to the '66 Mustang look I was getting w/stock springs and the system.
