Just installed new Bilstein shocks and 100lb springs (914 Rubber) on rear of my car. The rear of the car seems to sit higher than before. I have just about a 5" space from the top of the wheel rim to the fender opening measuring vertically. Car rides on 175/70-15 tires. Don't remember this gap being that large before with the old shocks/springs, but they were the originals from 1973.
Does this 5" space sound normal and will it gradually decrease over time? Thanks for the thoughts. EJP914 |

I have not yet driven the car. Will check again after a few drives. Maybe it will settle down a bit.
Thanks for the responses and your knowledge. Ed |
