Alright while we're on the subject I could use some similar advise.
Presently I have Eibach Pro Kit springs with Koni yellow adjustable front struts and KYB AGX adjustable struts in the rear. With 18X7.5 Enkei wheels. There are pics in my photo gallery for reference.
What I would like to do is raise the ride up about 1/2" or so to allow the rear wheels to even out and have a little more travel. Do not want to get back to stock but up a hair would smooth things out some. Had considered the Skunk adjustable coils or just a set of the adjuster sleeves to do this. Since a couple or more of you have done this, what would you suggest.
Yeah, I've heard the Eibach's have a weird tendency to be lower in the rear than the fronts. Weird. Anyway, if you're looking for close to the same ride quality, get Ground Controls (they're made by Eibach). I would suggest the set though, but you can buy them separately(front and/or rear) if you prefer. I wouldn't suggest Skunk2s unless you're ready for a FIRM ride, lol.
Sleeves by themselve may raise the rear up a bit, but one thing to consider is that most sleeves and their perch are 2.5" in diameter, which may be too small for the overall diameter of springs. Springs are also slotted to fit in shock perch grooves. If you add a perch underneath them, they will inevitabley have more pressure on one side of the springs because they will not sit even. The springs may also slide around on the sleeve perch. Safe? I'm inclined to say, No. I wouldn't suggest this.
