Is it me or every fox vert I see the rear is dragging behind lol..My 90 vert is lowered on eibach prog rate springs and tokico struts/shocks.I also have bbk gripp upper n lowers and a m.m. rear swaybar. Would like to even out the stance or even give it a slight rake if possible.Is there any inexpensive was to raise it a touch other than put on some m.m. lower adjustables? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

You can always cut a half coil from the bottom of the front springs. Drops it just a little and has no real change in ride quality.
I did this on my 88vert. I have Saleen Racecraft springs installed. After a few years the rear seemed to sag. Cut a half coil from the fronts and this was the result: I like it better now! LOL

best way to raise or lower would be with adjustable coilovers. They aren't that expensive these days

I used these. Mine is not a convertible, but my ride height was pretty much even on all corners, and I wanted the back slightly higher. They make them in several different sizes. I even ordered my driver's side taller because it was the lowest sitting point on the car.

Aluminum. They worked out well. Go to global west website to read up on specifics. For instance, a 1/2" spacer may really raise the car 5/8". They have a chart that tells you which ones to buy for height you want. I really wanted coilovers, but $70 vs $300, the spacers won out.

When I bought mine it sat like that. I replaced springs (factory) and shocks for a better ride and I got a better look as well. Had both my daughters (maybe 170 lbs combined) in the back seat yesterday and it still sat nice. Hopefully it will last. Before (top up) and afterView attachment 79064 View attachment 79064
