Back end sitting lower than front end?

push down and let go on each of your cars four corners. If your shocks are good your cars body will rebound after you push down. If you get no rebound out of it then your shocks are worn out.

Even if shocks are bad, it would not account for being too low as the shocks don't hold the car up

You mentioned "skinny" tires. Are fronts/rears the same diameter? It may just be an optical illusion or you might be going totally insane and losing your mind


Tell me about your muzer...

I have bad eye sight but from the picture it just looks like your running a lower profile tire than in the front... not sure if that would even make height change at all. but thats my 2 cents

Ok, here are pics. The 2nd pic is the gap between the tire and fenderwell on the back, and the 3rd pic is the front gap. And i'm convinced these are Eibach Drag Launch springs because i do not know of another blue eibach spring...
