Scroll them down from B, NOT A to adjust your height!! I think its called "pre-load" but definitely a no bueno. U should actually feel the spring relatively tight against the top of the mount. this will cause less load pressure on your shocks.

That's what I'm saying, people who buy those cars (for the most part) don't buy them for performance, they buy them for ballerness. Because of this, most people who buy these cars do not know how to drive properly. And because of that, they need to protect the drivers from themselves because these cars are very powerful and could be dangerous if someone pushes it to hard without knowing how to handle it. And that's why they put skinny little tires in front so the cars will understeer and the people won't kill themselves.

... uhmmm maybe it's because the engine is in the back. (well, midship)

Also... because it's a powerful car.

Those are both reasons why they have wide rear tires.

F1 cars have the engine in the back and they are extremely powerful and the front tires are like 2 feet wide. Discussion over.

def sounds like you basically did the opposite of preloading your springs making the springs have a chance to unseat themselves if thats how you adjusted and only got that low.......if you wanna see how low you can go just thread the whole shockbody till the spring adjusters meet the lock for the shock height.......and laugh at the tire getting stuck on the fender
