lol ok then
do 9k front n 11k rear
but thats if you want to ride like a race car lol
not to sure if you want that ..
but im going to get some custom spring rats ..
im going to do 7k F and 9k R
but i run adj struts too tho sooo
are you going to do a adj sleeve ?
or are you going to just do coil ?
what kind of stet up do you want to run ?

coilovers would solve your problem since you can ride as high (or low) as you want and they're extra firm. You could even increase the ride height if you wanted. I think stock height would be more than enough height to keep you from scraping.

...but they're expensive.

i am at stock height right now with factory springs and im still scraping as of right now im staying with factory struts. i did the sleeves before the kit and it was ok i just need to get a higher rated spring or some 17's srt4 rims but cant find any for a good price. so i figured i would look into the springs.
