I have a set of KYB Gas A just shocks and KYB struts. My car sits much lower int he front than in the back. Can I correct this? I would like to bring the back down but don't know if you can. In the front, my tire is about 3 inches from my wheel well... in the back, it is about 7-8 inches, it is wierd. Can anybody help?

Your springs controll ride hight, not the shocks. However a good shock does tend to push up, old worn shocks can cause a little sag.

I've got the KYB gas-a-just shocks too. I don't like them much. They ride like a horse drawn buggy. Handling is marginally better than stock. The rears are really just too stiff.

The only way to lower your rear is a different set of springs or a set of adjustable lower control arms. Shocks have nothing really to do with ride height.

If I were rich, I'd dump my KYB's for a set of Tokicos, Konis or Bilsteins in a New York second.

if you have a screw and nut on your rear lower control arms then you have a weight jacker set up.you can raise and lower your car by running the stud up or down.

I'm with everyone else. Springs control ride height, not shocks/struts. All they do is control the springs from bouncing up and down out of control when you hit a bump.

ohhh, I think my springs are worn in the front, cuz they creak all the time and bounce forever.
