    If you want some answers, forget about bickering about your friends and give us some info-----------Do you have coil over shocks on the front?
    What type suspension on the rear?
    tire/wheel/psi?
    length of any suspension arms
    angle of suspension arms
    measurement of where the spring/shock are on the arms----------


    How about some pics of the under side??


    Personally I'm thinking that your car may be too heavy for coil over type suspension at that travel distance-


    Your suspension arm length is going to be considerably longer than where your springs/shocks are so the pressure/leverage? is much higher and you probably need at least double those spring ratings


    a spring rate at the spring location IS NOT egual or even near the weight of that corner divided by the travel distance----
