Guys, front has 1.25 inches taller wheel gap then the rear which sits at .75 inches of wheel gap.

Is there anything I can do to modify the rear to make the wheel gap taller to match the fronts? Would putting some new shocks help or new both shocks and springs.

I can't stand the dead body in the rear look. Any suggestions while keeping the factory suspension setup? It's crisp and tight enough already for my old body.

 

Put a dead body in the frunk. Problem solved.

 

lol, I'm going to do the muffler bypass and see if the 60lbs diet on the rear relieves and of the drag down.

 

Muffler bypass will only net you closer to 50lbs and won't do a thing to ride height.

You're gonna have to get springs at the very least if you want to do it right.

You can maybe stack spring pads out back but I would not recommend this as there will be labor and alignment involved.

 

Something doesn't sound quite right... My 2004 C2 had pretty similar gaps with the stock suspension.

Is it possible you have an incorrect size front or rear tires on the car which are affecting the gap? Possible that somebody previously swapped front or rear springs? Are there a ton of miles on the car?

Shocks will have no effect on ride height, unless they have adjustable spring perches, and OEM C2 shocks do not. I suppose it is possible that rear springs have fatigued and that is what is causing your rear to droop, but it seems a bit unlikely...

If you do replace springs, I would definitely do all four. Tons of people have dumped there stock springs for either coil-overs or H&R replacement springs, so it shouldn't be too hard to source a set of low mileage used springs.

You can also take a look at my H&R Install thread for some before/after pictures on my C2 for comparison to how your car is sitting.

 

lol - the old Chicago dead body in the frunk technique


OP, you have any pictures of how the car sits? maybe time to replace tired springs. Good excuse for some upgrades I say-
