I was looking at the wheelwell gap between the fender and my wheels today and i noticed something odd... aat the front the gap is large, thus the car looks like it's riding at a normal ride height, but at the back the gap is smaller.. it looks almost like i have lowering springs on the back of my car (which i don't) is there any reason why the car would look like its "squatting" like this?
is this the case for anyone elses car? i was thinking of correcting it by getting springs that would give me a 1 inch drop in the front and leave it at that.. edit: i just measured the wheelwell gaps: 3.4inch in the front and 2.3 in the rear whats goin' on This post has been edited by Mike: Apr 17, 2005 - 6:16 PM -------------------- ![]() |

There is probably more room in the back in between the wheel and the inside. In the front you have the engine bay to worry about. Even with new springs, it will still be a little higher in the front than it is the back (assuming the springs are all the same drop.) Its just how the car was designed. Even on the new celis, there is a larger gap in the front.
