Ok, so as stated and most of you have probably seen, I have an 07 Sedan lowered on H&Rs. I was curious if you guys could tell me what the low points are on the car. I hit one spot in and out of the driveway to my office where my car drags every day. It is not bad, but I can hear it drag if I turn the radio down. It is definately in the rear half of the car. From the looks of the driveway where it drags it looks like it is from the center of the car. SO- my estimate is that whatever is dragging is located roughly directly below the center of the rear seat. What do you guys think it could be?!?! I have tried looking under the car but cannot find anything. Maybe an exhaust bracket or something to that effect?!?!

What would be the best way to raise the rear a 1/4" or so? Someone had posted pictures/information about some spacers a little while back. Is this the way to go? I think raising 1/4" in the rear would not only solve that problem, but I think it would look good, give it more stance.

FYI- finding a new job is not an option, they treat me like gold here, and we are building a new office. Maybe another year here....

 

You could install spring pad spacers to raise the back up a bit. InTgr8r talked about them in this thread:

haha, yeah, those are the ones I was referring too! That was my thred they are posted in! Thanks though, I dont have to go back and find it now!!!

 

I went ahead and emailed the people about those spring spacers. It would appear that they would raise the rear of my car 3/8".

How do we think that would look?

It's hard to say, 3/8" might be too much, you could always machine .125" off the spacer thickness to give just a 1/4" more lift.

 

Yeah, I was thinking 3/8" might be a bit much too. I think 1/4" would look goood though. Would you even notice 1/8" though?!?!

 

Put the jack under the car and raise it up 3/8 and then just 1/4" and see how it looks.

 

I just got a response about the spacers, this is what they said:

These coil spring isolators were not designed to raise a vehicle. They are meant to be replacements for existing rubber isolators. Adding the thickness of a spring isolator will increase the ride height, but I can not tell you exactly how much, because it will depend on lever length as related to the chassis.

So: Is it common practice to use them for this purpose? Anyone?

 

Manufacturer: It is possible to increase the ride height of your vehicle with coil spring isolators, I just am not sure if it will increase it 3/8” based on the thickness of the 9.6101 isolator. You would have to just try it to see how much it will lift the vehicle.

Their response to me explaining what I was planning on using them for....
