s13 New Coilovers and Exhaust TOO low!!

I put new coilovers on and now my exhaust is almost touching the ground :/
Anyways i am dropping it off at the exhaust shop to get cut and moved. My prob is i cant drive it there being that low. No way. I wanna raise the coilovers as high as i can. How much thread has to be in the bottom mounts so i know how high i can go. (its about 10min away from my house)

I would say at least one to two full thread circles. What set up are you running?

If you're having this issue then there is something wrong with your exhaust or coil over set up.

fixing the exhaust unless that's the true problem is only a band aid for a bigger problem.

I need to sell my coilovers!? ^^^^

So ya my exhaust IS the problem. it was kinda custom so its needs to be cut and angled higher. Just need to temp adjust the coils for the ride there. I just wanted to be safe driving with them up high since i never really did that before...

Since everyone is making fun of you here, I'll tell you need about one inch of thread engagement, it is usually written in the installation manual.

Anyone installing suspension components shouldn't need an installation manual.

I'm not laughing at your coilovers. I'm laughing at you fucktard. I also don't have any kids and can spend my hard earned money however I choose.
I can understand why you didn't blow 2 grand on legit coils. Props for putting your family first. But you don't want to drive down the road to get your exhaust fixed whyyyyy? Seriously my car is slammed as fuck! I drive it daily everywhere with no ill effects. Now get in your 240 and drive slow and go get your exhaust tucked more and stop making stupid threads!

Omg so pretty much everyone here is a complete moron. The coilovers are NOT the problem, the exhaust is, which is what the OP said in the post. So his question is valid and everyone that is talking shit is just pissed that they haven gotten laid in years. He's just asking a simple question so the fact that you're actually taking the time out of your day to comment on this thread and talk shit is just sad. It's good to know that all your attention is being focused on him right now so I would say that's a win for him. Lmao you guys always amaze me.
