ok guys who has had to lower the rear of the c70 vert? i find i have a hard time seeing out the rear window. i have no problem lowering the springs but having an idea of how much to take will help with lifting the car a few times to get the middle of the window for me. i'm 5'9" and the wife is 5' and she just can't see either. it doesn't help to raise the seat but lowering the rear will. i replaced the front struts first they needed it anyway and that did not raise the front enough to help/ thanks

Buy another car. Lifting the rear (one of the more, err, different way to try to see) is not the answer.
It won't work.
My daughter has one and I've driven it numerous times. You just can't see well out of them with the small slit of a rear window, no one can!

Add on backup camera is probably best solution for parking.
