Consider coil overs? I have Tein HA coil overs on my 7 and it sits REALLY low

I'm considering raising it just a bit since its almost too low. As you know one huge advantage of coil overs is the adjustability especially concerning height adjustment and the ability to have the 7 corner weighted.

I also have 18s on my 7.

What does wheel diameter have to do with anything? TIRE diameter is what matters..... bstorm, you are as low as you are going to get without hitting the front fender liners on dips, if you aren't already. If you really want to go lower (trust me, you don't), you'll need coilovers so you can run stiffer rate springs.

That is because you have the wrong tire sizes, wrong offsets, or both.
