so i just got back from getting my car lowered (tanabe df springs cut and kyb struts) and i am on stock 16's. the car is too low the whole drive home my under carriage cover was scraping. what can i do to either make it a lil higher or make it so the cover doesn't scrape. I don't want to take the cover off though. My mechanic told me to come back tomorrow and he could raise it up a little. I don't know how, but he said he could, and that he has done it before on other cars. What should i do.

Get some bigger rims, and you won't scrape anymore.

Oh. Yes, it'll rub. That means it's time to roll or shave your fenders.

HolY S... yeah i dont think you can do anything if you dont have adjustables shocks... maybe get like a bump stopper or something like that... Looks like if you were on airbags.

i think your problems are that you cut the springs. lol i'm not really sure how you raise a car with cut springs since nothing is adjustable. put really big wheels on it to raise it? or just go with some coilovers?

Wow dude! thats not cool. i mean it looks cool but its lyk wow, super low. u def could use some bigger rims. but it is a nice drop. really looks like its on air tho. u need sum coilovers. i have seen this thing thats adjustable for ppl who have springs. look it up on eBay.

^^^yea i like the look alot and i dont really care driving like this, its just the annoying sound of the damn cover scraping. I don't have a clue on what to search on ebay lol...

That's too low! I'm glad I bought adjustable coilovers instead of springs.

bigger wheels= more ground clearence..hes on 17's
I suggest finding some bigger wheels in the mean time until u can figure something out..
At LEAST 17's ...and up..

Really? Chopping spring on a Lexus? Maybe the members car you bought it from doesn't look that low because of the 17"s?

Edit: Man I type tooo slow Anthony
