I just finished puting in my rear koni shocks, and rear gold line camberkit. now the car is siting about 1.5 inches higher than it did before. anyone else have this problem, could it because i didnt pre load the suspention before i put the camber kits in? I dono, i got stuff i have to get done so i cant look at it untill tomarow. any help would be great. It looks like **** now because it dosent look lowered in the rear at all.

the koni's have a 2 perch things on the shock body. if it's on the top one (theres a ring on it), then thats why its so high. put it on the bottom one to return to "normal" height.

its on the bottom, and the perch its self is as low as it can be.
im thinking it could be the camber kit more than anything... maby its holding the car up because i didnt have any weight on it when i put it in

for the rear camber kit install, you are supposed to tighten the bolt (the one above the drum) after taking out the jack and/or jack stands...
