Springs and Suspension

[lanquid]

I got new 17'' rims for my stock 1988 mustang GT and also needed a stiffer suspension. However, Les Schwab put on lowering springs, which I did not specify. Anyway, when I put the 255 tires on the back the right tire rubbed in the fender well because the tire was so big and the suspension was so low.

So I am looking at new springs and I am trying to get back to stock height. But everything I look at advertises their springs as lowering. So my question is whether or not Eibach V8 Drag Launch Series Springs lower your car or if they are just performance at stock height, because it doesn't seem to specify on any website I've seen.

Would rolling your fender lips help? Typically most springs lower the car for better geometry in cornering, but I know nothing about the drag springs (sorry).

IMO roll the fender lips and keep the better handling.

How low is it sitting? I have mine lowered w/ 275s on the back w/ no problem

the tire is too close to the fender well to even stick a bat up in there to try and roll it. I don't know exactly how to do it either.
