Back lower than front

All,

I just put in new adj shocks and lowered springs on my 91 T and noticed the back is lower than the front. I'm wondering if this is normal. I like the rear to be higher and was wondering if anyone has any suggestion.

I was thinking about putting the rear stock rear springs back.

If they are the H&R's you'll be lower in the rear, and you most likely cut the front ones to make it even.

A lot of people do this with the H&R's. It's mostly caused by the rear spring being softer. It's actually better for handling in our cars. Because MR2's are so tail happy, the stiffer front with softer rear actually helps to get rid of some oversteer in hard cornering.

But, if you simply don't care for the look, or you have adjustable struts, just cut the fronts a little.

Just remember, they were designed like that for a reason.
