    Too low?

    Had a slab in the back and a passenger in the back as well as someone up front.
    Rear wheels were scraping, what can I do? I'm going on a trip soon and they'll be more weight in the car...need to fix this ASAP.

    Stiffer springs or raising the ride height is about it. If thats all you had in the car then it sounds like you springs are shot anyway!

    I was looking to get some new ones anyway. It's pretty high as it is. I think stiffer springs will have to be the way to go.
    Kind of a bummer since I just got alignment and balance done, which will have to be done again once new springs are fitted?
    Recommended place to get this done?

    Roll guards. More camber. Smaller and or Skinner tyres. Less aggressive offset wheels. Smaller spacers if you are running then.
    Better shocks or firmer springs. Wind coils up.

    But really, There is no such thing as too low

    Only the front. Rear doesn't change unless the beam has been messed with

    My tires are bigger than stock wheels, I knew this, but wasn't a problem with just me in the car. I'm not running any spacers at all.
