i've noticed that my rear end sags a bit (haha, funny), and it scrapes when i'm, exiting my driveway (moreso if i do it fast), and my muffler scrapes ever so slightly on some speedbumps.
the shocks are new koni yellows, and i dont know if i'm risking blowing them out by having such a low ride height.
is there any way to remedy this without taking it in to my mechanic?

You can play around with the spring plate in the back, you can get about 1 inch of complete travel, though with the way its adjusted at the factory you probably wont get more than half an inch.

The nuts are super tight and you will need a large breaker bar or a relativley powerful impact wrench to get them loose.

oh my god, what is that.
looks like i'm in for fun this weekend.
thanks, i'd never seen that before, even with searches (although i admit my searching ability sucks)

Edit- keep the 3rd free for an east bay run.
