Back is lower than the front....
How do you fix the suspension defect in ride height? My back end is lower than the front end.
Do I need strut bars? What can I do to fix this problem?
I have Sprint 2.25 drop springs with Koni adjustable shocks, Ingel camber kit and a DC lower
tie bar.
Please help.

1. Strut bars have nothing to do with adjusting the ride height.
2. It's probably the way the springs are made or...
3. The only other thing is that it could be your camber kit - providing you have one in the rear. If the rear wheels are facing inward noticably from the top of the wheel (cambering negatively), you can try to fix it a bit by adding more positive camber. This can slighty change the height of the car if you lower the arm which would make the wheel stand up more vertically, add positive camber and raise the height of the rear more.
Note: If you already got an alignment on your car, you'll have to get another one after messing with the camber. You should get an alignment after you are completely satisfied with you suspension set-up... meaning you won't have the need to adjust the height or the camber angle for a while.

Ok..if your *** is to low...what you can do with your Koni's is adjust the snap ring that holds your rear perch up.....(its the lil metal part on the strut that is in the groove that keeps your perch in place....) If you look on your strut body there is a second notch (groove) where you can put the snap ring...it's about 1 inch higher....you can us that and it will raise your car 1 inch higher or so....should take you 30 min to do all of it...no longer...the rears are super easy in install...
OK...well I don't know if you are the right guy to be doing this job....did you install your KONI's yourself....for me it's really easy to do..cuz I have access to a lot of good tools that will allow me to install my backs in like 30 min.....
But for you this could take longer if you don't got the right tools.....first of all look at this picture....see there is that ring that is in the left notch......Now try and pop the ring out....IT WILL BE ****ING HARD...cuz its in there tight......pry it out but don't try and bend it.....
THEN MOVE THE RING INTO THE NOTCH ON THE RIGHT...you gain like 1 inch.....
