Back end sitting lower than front end?

Blown 97 GT · January 23rd, 2009, 05:09 PM

For some reason, it looks to me like my back end sits lower than my front? Maybe its just the skinny tires i have right now but idk...

Blown 97 GT · January 23rd, 2009, 05:47 PM

Maybe my shocks are going bad?

ColdSteel · January 23rd, 2009, 06:01 PM

did you do the good old bounce back of the car test?

Blown 97 GT · January 23rd, 2009, 06:39 PM

Nope what is that?

97S281 · January 23rd, 2009, 08:15 PM

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.

is ur car stock height? it looks lowered a bit...

G.T. Rags · January 23rd, 2009, 09:28 PM

Blown 97 GT · January 24th, 2009, 12:45 AM

Look Fine to me Mabye a Better Pics?

Jazzer The Cat · January 24th, 2009, 09:06 AM

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...

Haha yea they are thre same front and rear. But my bullitts will be here this week and they are 17x9 up front and 17x10.5 out back. Maybe it'll fix it! haha

97GT4.6 · January 24th, 2009, 05:01 PM

you can also take out the isolators if you feel that it sits wrong. i think my front ones are coming out to fix it.. i have a prokit as well

mustangracer2g · January 24th, 2009, 06:20 PM

yeah the car does looks good to me as it sits haha

MeMz · January 25th, 2009, 01:09 AM

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

NMR-2vGT · February 1st, 2009, 05:54 AM

Also looks fine to me......

Blown 97 GT · February 12th, 2009, 12:58 AM

Ok guys, i have my new wheels/tires on and it still looks like the front of my car is a good 1/2"-1" higher than the back. And i think i have drag launch springs bc they are blue... I'll post pics 2morrow but what can i do to fix this? Whats this i've heard about isolators and where/what are they?

schizo1307 · February 12th, 2009, 03:40 AM

it looks fine in the pic, doesn't seem to sitting any lower than it should be

Blown 97 GT · February 12th, 2009, 04:28 PM

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...
