lowering question

i was outside smoking a cigarette when i noticed something odd about my car.

i lowered it almost 9-10 months ago and i didnt notice this yet. but my back wheels have NO fender gap. matter of fact, theyre pretty tucked in....and then in the front i have about a fingers worth of gap...but when you step back and look at the entire car theres no back sag....well the car looks even...

now ive narrowed it down to somethings...

1. i havent installed my camber kit that i have sitting in the garage yet and the back is just really cambered.

2. i have some junk including my subs in my trunk...but this couldnt be it cause my car doesnt look like it had a sag...


ive got an eibach pro kit installed with koni shocks...

any ideas?

The subs and weight in the back def are making it lower, also if you have the v6 prokit, the spring rate is stronger in the front to support the weight of your big ass motor

also as it settles,your eyes will play tricks on you. you have more well in the front so the with the modest prokit drop your back will APPEAR lower esp with a loaded trunk. ..........


when i was prokitted(back was decent, front was cuz of the rubberbands) and i had nothing in my trunk(not even a spare)and back was low(for a prokit) compared to front.it's an even drop if you got the one's made for the 3.0.my front you could barely tell was dropped.
gap in front with the prokit


all around(you can see my back seems lower)


even in motion when the front drops alittle the back still APPEARS lower
