Change the springs. Those look like cut stock or H&R SS springs. If you switch to H&R Race Springs it will sit higher.. like mine. I'm also running 18's, and no front ISOs. But, the springs are what you need to switch.

You are running the race springs, but did you change/take out the isolators? Your stance is exactly what I am looking for.
Stock Termi wheels are the shiznit, what are you talking about???
this is h&r race with no iso's... real low but did scrap on speed bumps if i went slow....
Here's my experience with H&R SS with 17" and 18" Cobra wheels. These are the measurements to the top of the wheel well.
Before H&R (OEM wheels)
Front: 27”
Rear: 27-3/8”
After H&R (OEM wheels)
Front: 25-3/4”
Rear: 26”
After H&R (18” wheels)
Front: 26-1/8”
Rear: 26-1/2”
So the H&R’s dropped the car about 1-1/4” (front) and 1-3/8” (rear). The 18’s then raised it back up 3/8” (front) and 1/2” (rear).
If you want, you can add MM isolators and they will raise the car about 1/4-3/8". That could save you from investing in new wheels & tires.

My car is also to low, looks like the front shock towers have spacers on them. It has stock wheels, and it sits right on top of the tire, i just got it.:shrug:
The spacers on top of the shock towers have no effect on ride height. Those just gain back strut travel when using shorter springs (the strut is already compressed more than stock due to the shorter spring, right?). By letting the shaft extend more at rest, you get back to stock travel.

Heres mine on H&R Race w/ stock isos all around.
i say man up and leave it!!!!!!
or just get 18's, i think it will then sit a tad higher.

Yeah ! Stop being a wus!torquemonster said:
Wow. :thumbsup: That car is PERFECT - wheels, stance, all of it. I'm so glad I just bought some chrome Saleens. I have H&R race springs, too, and now I can't wait for my Saleens to get here!04MystiCobra said:
If you want a less radical ride height, I have the perfect solution for you. I'll trade you straight up for my '97. It has the stock ride height. It's win-win. You get a taller ride height and I get a sick Terminator. Think about it. (Feel free to get hammered and make the decision while you're in your happier and not quite as rational mind 
)

why do people run H and R Race springs and then take the iso's out? just run the sport springs and leave the iso's in. i have the sport springs and love them and from the pictures i've seen they are no lower than people running the race springs. i guess if someone wants more noise coming from their suspension then yes, take the iso's out.
I only have a top isolator in on all 4 of mine, and it doesn't make any noise. The spring rates are different with the race springs as well, not just the ride height.RedfireSVT said:
well finally got my h&r race springs on it lifted it up alittle
