Ride height
I have an 88 SE, just put new struts on front & rear. The problem is the body is riding about one inch higher than before. Is this normal? What can I do to lower it without spending a bunch of $$$? Thanks!

The new struts are Monroe. It appeared the car still had the original struts on it. The new struts compounded the problem I already had by upgrading from 195/60x14 (phone dials) to 205/60x15 wheels and tires (from an 89 parts car I purchased)which caused an inch of rise also. I am looking to get it back to at least the starting height. I may also look at getting a lower profile set of tires when I can afford them. I will check out the spring kits, maybe that will do it for now. Thanks!
