Maybe the fronts are already as low as they can go? Do you have any pics? Have you tried raising the back?

well with all the coilovers i have seen you need a special wrench to raise or lower you car cuz it uses two nuts that lock on each other and the wrenches are used to make sure that the nuts are tight together.... not most people have these just laying on there garage floor cuz they get lost easy or you leand it out and they dont come back i knoe 3 people with coilovers and only 1 person still has there wrenches

are the full tein coilover system or just tein springs with the screw on coilovers springs? it could be the car didnt have the right shocks and it was lowered to the point where the shocks got beat up on the rear and are now done and lowered unintentionally. you could try checking out the coilovers to see if theyre adjustable, just by taking off your wheel after a jackign and taking a look. also check if you need new shocks and if you lower go with like tokico or koni for lowering spring kits. they are made to work with lowering springs and take more of a beating.

that and if you have the coilovers that basically are just adjustable springs with the screw boot and those two rings that you need that question mark looking wrench for, you can just go on amazon and buy a cheap coilver kit and not use the cheap spring they come with and just use the wrenches. also have extra rings if anything theyre pretty much the coilovers.

if you have a real coilover system thats a bit different yet still adjustable and all one piece, springs that work well with shocks.

Here's the way I post pictures (as well as most forum users on a wide variety of forums).

Save whatever picture you wish to post onto your computer.

Go to photobucket and create an account.

Upload the saved picture from your computer onto your photobucket account. Photobucket allows you to edit pictures in different ways and save them online. You also have the ability to resize/crop pictures as well as creating multiple albums for better organization.

Once you upload a picture, it will save into your album/account. Click on the picture. On the lower right, you will see a box with various links that would direct someone to that picture and/or album.

Copy the direct link (an example will be my signature taken from my photobucket - http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab16/sirsoapmaister/RX7/Banner.jpg)

Now, when you reply to a post, above the text box you will see a variety of buttons/options. Click the yellow box that symbolizes a portrait of a mountain. This will bring up a dialog box, paste the link you copied from your picture on photobucket.

Another way to post a picture is by typing the code here shown in bold
