I had this setup for years and believe it or not, I just noticed that the rear is lower than the front. Is this normal?

I noticed the same thing with my KYB/Eibach setup and someone said it was probably because I have a 4cyl...this may be the same thing for you.

i hate how high the front is :evil:

eibachs have this drop where the rear is lower than the front, i might be switching mine to the teins where they give u an even drop on both sides.

is it bad if the rear is lower than the front in terms of performance wise?

when it comes to cornering I would imagine having an even drop would be optimal

having it higher in the front is atleast better for bumps...

i have 225/45/17s on my car so it's more noticeable in the front. I could fit 2.5 fingers whereas barely 2 fingers in the back.

I think if I get 205/50/17s, it should help out a lil bit?

I have the Eibach/Tokico combo with the V6 and there is almost no difference at all on mine. Less than 1/4 inch lower in the back. -JoeB
