I have installed Kyb(AGX) with Eibach Prokit and SusP-Tech sway bars on my 97 240SX SE's month ago!! The handling drastically improved, but I knoticed that it is too low for me to drive normally!! Also, my tires are wearing inside only!! I already hit my transmission area five times on a speed bumps, and I think if I don't raise one inch up from now, I'll end up spending lot's of money for repairing my bottoms. I think the pro-kit lowered 1.5 inches from the stock set up!! Is there any thing I could do to raise one inch up from my set up! Any suggestion!! Thanks for viewing,

There isn't really a whole lot you can do about bottoming out. That's one of the tradeoffs of a lowered street-driven vehicle. However, taking speed bumps and gutters at an angle, as opposed to straight on, will lessen your chances of bottoming out.
You'll need to purchase and install a camber correction kit to reduce the inside tire wear. Front camber bolts can be found at www.enjukuracing.com and rear offset bushings can be found at www.pdm-racing.com. Get both installed and get an alignment done and you won't sacrifice your tires anymore.

alignment if your tires are wearing unevenly. prokits should not have lowered your car that much... give us more info on your setup.. wheels tires sizes etc...

Same wheels with stock configuration, 16 in with 205/55 zr kdw tires I think the car was already low and with 1.5 inches lowered, it is too low for some of the speed bumps!!! Well, they said I cannot do anything about lifting one inch up from now, so I might just have to get the camber adjustment from enjaku!!! Thanks alot every body, oh and for the batteries, what kind of battery should I get since I have 600watts running on my car audio, I knoticed the battery leak.
