There is nothing weighing the rear of the car down (its at stock weight with 1/8 tank of gas) . I cant drive the car around because the rear tires will scrape the fender lips really bad, forcing me to park it. My mechanic said the shocks are perfect and nothign is wrong with them, but he didnt say anything about the springs. Is this normal? My car sits higher in the front than it does in the back. Thanks in advance.

The front and rear adjustable shocks were set at the #4 setting (out of 8 ) so its not like the ride was too firm. Thanks in advance.

So, what do you think I should do? Maybe get a more "stock" ride height for the rear and keep the fronts in? Or should I just swap out the fronts + rears for something else? They couldnt save my front springs cuz they were in really bad shape, resulting in the shock mounts being corroded to death in which they had to cut the shock/spring apart .
