I just ordered 15mm drop hats for my front end. My rear tires are tucked and I have spacers all around. I don't rub but I have a gnarly reverse rake, so hopefully these drop hats bring my front down a little bit. I heard that if you remove the rear spring pads it will bring the rear up more? Not sure on this but if someone could explain this it would be nice haha.

Thanks.

I could be missing something here, but if you were to removed the rear spring pads or any spring pads for that matter, the ride height would be lower just like if you were to put 6 inch blocks under your springs the ride height would be higher. Hope that clarifies.

Cheers,

Brian

If you take the pads out, the rear would be about .000000001" lower..

actually, the pads make a surprising amount of difference.
i tried it with and without the spring pads and it sits noticably lower in the front.
you could also get those hard plastic sleeves instead of pads.
