The problem is not in the shocks Euripides..its the spring length/rate combo that determines the height of the car. (assuming you didn't cut your cartridges).

No, I didn't cut my cartridges. So, the spacer is OK.
Which spirgs are the suitable ones for these shocks?
Any other solution to keep the springs for now? (May be a smaller bottom spacer bottom and another one on top?)
I'll destroy my shocks if I use the APEX?

Hiya,

Don't worry so much! Smile

The springs are suitable for the shocks..HTS's work ok with a wide range of springrates. If the car is not to low, you won't mess up your shocks with the springs.

The spacer under the shock is there for one reason only. To ensure that the HTS has a snug fit inside the strut cartridge. If the shock can move around to much in the strut, that causes problems..but I dont think that is the case with your setup right.

If you can live with the difference in heights then there is no problem. I wouldn't lower it in the front without going to the full expense of short strokes. Just drive and enjoy what is probably a bad JDM bling photographer (TM: Alimonos) setup, but a decent one to drive.

It's not the look i care...

It's different. The normal is higher back. I don't think the steering will be the same... Confused

It sounds like you already have it rolling..why not jump into the car and try it out. You might like it.
If not, the only thing I can come up with is different springs/coilovers... that or cutting the front springs Tongue






(cutting them is a bad idea)

Yes, I already tested it. I think it can be better. I didn't pressed to the limit, but I hate the idea of "understeering maybe"... :wink:
More tests to run asap to more familiar roads...
