Post New w-type kit - bottoming out now

I installed my new kit a few days ago - I love it to death. You've never seen so many stares before - it's great. I am having major issues with it bottoming out now. What can be done/changed to make it so that it won't lean so far forward and bottom out - especially when braking? Just curious, i'm guessing springs & shocks. Thanks for your help.

Bottoming out has to do with suspension, which shouldn't have changed with the addition of a a bodykit.

If you mean u are hitting your airdam on the front, there is no solution... sorry

Well, I have 17" rims with wider tires then stock. The rear right was hitting the wheel well and screwing the tire up. I ended up putting air shocks on it to avoid hitting wheel well at high speeds. What suspension parts can I change in order to make it ride stiffer? Thanks again.

Ok i gotcha... have u considered adjustable shocks ? There are several brands, most of which start out as "SOFT as stock" and then get stiffer and stiffer" as u adjust them

I have the Hal 12 way adjustable, works really good and very easy to adjust. At setting of 6, it gets really stiff already.

cheers
