Default CT-5 suspension help!!!

I noticed that on my CT-5 the rear shocks dont have nearly as much tension as in the front. Also, i noticed that the front has about 1/4 inch more clearance from the floor than in the back. Whats going on? I would like to adjust the clearance, does anyone know how to do this? Any way to adjust the CT-5 shocks??? Thanx

To adjust the CT4/CT5 shocks you simply need to add or remove shims from the spring. These shims are plastic and can clip in and out to adjust the ride height.

Normally you want the front to sit a bit higher than the rear. This helps with steering in sharp turns (has to do with the roll centers of the car).

Hope this helps.

CEN I currently have my CT 5 decked with threaded shocks, my car is positioned with 5mm ride height and rear 7mm ride height from the ground, do you recommend flipping this configuration around for better center of gravity?
