I'd agree with RideTech and guess that you have the wrong spring under the front. I asked about sway bar, to only see if you knew the rate. Most people have no idea what their sway bar rate is, and being as how you don't know the shock length, OR the coil spring rating, I'd guess you don't know the bar rating...nothing at all to do with ride height. Most questions like this one come from people that simply don't know what they have under their cars.
If I were you, I'd pull the front shock/springs out, and visually see what you have, and then I'd make a call to RideTech. They will fix your issues.

sounds like you need a new driveway. :poke: :mock:

Seriously, I would find the offending parts of the car and move them.

Tell us more about your set up.maybe a picture of the car from the side.

Would have replied sooner but I've been busy at work... Here's the best pics I think for what your asking.

Car has Tru turn up front bmr watts link torque arm rear... As you can see it's very very low. Norfolk streets are horrible and the streets on base aren't much better, with lots of speed bumps. Excuse my ignorance on spring principles etc, but any help is badly needed. Where can I find the spring rate on the spring? I bought these a while back, and a lot of life and several deployments have happened since then so I have no idea what the rate is. Bought directly from ride tech.

Usually the spring rate number is on the spring itself. I bet a call to ridetech will verify what ones you were sent. I originally had 650s on the front but replaced them with 700s after my first autocross. The 650s rode great on the street but after my first autocross I was concerned with no adjustability (up- ore ride height) due to running out of threads. After swapping in the 700s and they sent me another lower mount (the part to goes between the spring and the nut) that gives you more (space). I haven't notcied any ride difference between the 650s and 700s after going a couple of clicks softer on the adjustment.

Just curious, what is the measurement between the ground and your subframe? I have about 4.5" and my headers hang down another .5" giving me 4 inches of clearance. I have not had any clearance issues in normal driving. Another thing you might look at is how are your motor mounts bolted on? There was a thread on this board about depending on how they were orientated your engine would either sit higher or lower. If I remember right, if the mounts were installed with the single bolt up and the 2 bolts down, the motor would sit higher (giving you more header ground clearance).

Yes sir, she's low! You should have a number etched into your coil over spring like this...if not, it will be scribed into the top (ground flat part) of the spring.
Thanks for your service, by the way!

I appreciate it, I love my job... I'll measure when I get back home, pats are playing... Fir reference though you can see where my hand hits on the subframe and only a 5 10 guy. Not calling out ride tech, I just daily drive this and my sprite and it's frustrating almost uncapping the exhaust every speed bump

Here's to the subframe by the collector. Again, not trying to start a war just trying to fix my problem. Hell, I'm shopping for shocks for 3 other projects as well... 1 easy, 2 interesting.

The pics earlier showed all I needed to see.
The control arm and steering arm should be parallel to the ground.

You need more spring to raise the car.

After that I suggest tucking the headers/exhaust up in the car for clearance.
Look at the underside of a new Vette. Nothing below the frame rails

My question is, where is the top end of the spring seated? That may sound like a stupid question, but the coil is so far up on the shock body and yet is nowhere near coil bind that I'm wondering if it is actually seated in the frame spring pocket and not on the shocks upper spring mount where it should be. At least that would account for the spring not being in coil bind and the car setting so low.

Steve raises a good point. These are true coil overs, not hybrid coil overs like others offer, so there is a spring seat that connects to the shock stud.

It should look like this (notice the black spring retainer at the top of each spring:
