My car has had the front suspension lowered by 1 inch according to the previous owner so its shouldnt be 5 1/2" anymore. I have new shocks for the front and rear on the way to me now, and I am going to change out the front sway bar bushings before getting it aligned. I will hold off on the rack and see if the above fixes it first. thanks! adam price --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxx> wrote: > Looks like your car is too high - it needs to be 5 1/2 inches in the > front.
