Prokit sags in the rear!?!

Do any of you peeps have this problem as well? Like the rear is about 1/2 high lower than in the front with the prokit. Is there anyway to correct this? I know that the Koni features an adjustable spring seat for ride height adjustment. So if I install konis, can I raise the car 1/2 inch higher, so it would be even?

This happened with the ProKits I had on my Accord. It's the rubber boot the springs sit on. I really liked the ride of them, though, and wanted them for my TLS, but was afraid the wheel gap would be less in the rear than the front, as was the case with my Accord.
It would be cool if you can fix it with the Koni Yellows, without having to sacrafice ride qulaity. Good luck.

i see that this was posted a while back ago...
i was wondering if the eibach prokit for the tls still sags in the rear after riding them for a while.... if they do, did you (and how) do anything to fix that up?
i just got the prokit and i have the same problem...
thanx

I have the prokit and it doed APPEAR that they do. However...I believe it looks this way because of the sort of "lip" of the front wheel well. By the lip I mean how it pushes out a little bit from the lines of the fender. The rear does not really have this. I think if you got a good measurement you would see that they are even. None the less, I love the Pro-kit drop!!

Yep..that's how it is. It gives the car the level look.... in other words...even...no rake look. but at certain angles....it looks like it sags too much. But it isn't so bad....if you carry a car load...it might look weird. So the gap in the rear is lesser than the front. But when the car is driving..it doesn't look bad. Since I took my car for service and got to see my car drive around the block. i like it.
