Just installed new Bilstein shocks and 100lb springs (914 Rubber) on rear of my car. The rear of the car seems to sit higher than before. I have just about a 5" space from the top of the wheel rim to the fender opening measuring vertically. Car rides on 175/70-15 tires. Don't remember this gap being that large before with the old shocks/springs, but they were the originals from 1973.
Does this 5" space sound normal and will it gradually decrease over time? Thanks for the thoughts. EJP914 |

not surprising as your old ones were long gone...you may have to adjust the spring perch as stated above.
