I actually raised the car to about 3finger gap all around. I even took off my spacers on the front to see if there is a difference.

What I am thinking is that maybe it's the wheels? When I had the stock 7 spokes on there, it was fine. But I was running an 10k spring in the front. Now with the s14se wheels, I'm running a 6k spring. Gees, I might just get rid of the coilovers and go shocks and springs...who knows.

I'm not complaining about the situation, but am still looking for a fix for it.

done.

you're feeling the SEs, smaller sidewalls track the road more.

run monster truck tires if your gonna be a bitch about it.

Furthermore Tie rods are supposed to be parralel with the LCA not the ground.
