Did you start with new springs and set the bottom clip in slot 3 up from the shock bolt? I feel that you need to start with with new springs before you even try adjusting things. The rear should set slightly higher than the front. You need to measure the ride height from the tire to the fender lip. Spring choice is up to you depending on what kind of driving you are doing. Original 90# springs were weak at best on -4 cars, the -6 had 100# .
