What did you lower it with? What springs? What struts? Or did you use coilovers?

Did you put the rear springs on the front and the fronts on the rear? Cause doing that would lower it down excessively low in the front end. Thats about the only thing I can think of at the moment as to why its so low.

I have skunk2 springs on my 05 and never had a problem with them, I agree with lowslow wouldent hurt to give it a quick check. I also agree with your 4" instead of 2" good luck.

Ok here's on update for all ya'll who gave suggestions... got my car realigned which made the front tires rub evenly so i knew it wasnt a bad spring. the guy that aligned them suggested the rubber spring booster blocks (dummy smack why didnt i think of that?) anyways put them on last night and it worked and the car looks better the blocks only raised it 1.5" and on top of that i have an incredibly smooth ride now it almost feels stock. thank you guys tho for the suggestions![sm=roll.gif]
