anyone w/ comptech springs losing or lost that rake look

I've had my comptech springs on my car over a year now and I've always had that rake look...but over the weekend I've noticed that my rear has settled down evenly now....Looks alot better, and havent lost any of the ride...just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this also....

it's been a year and the back gap is still bigger than the front, so i dont think it's settled that much...

got a dead body in the trunk or something? my ride didn't settle at all...

maybe 6 subs in a custom box should take care of it... but as of now, never heard of that happening to anyone.

Mine sits pretty level. Booty up just a hair. Wouldn't call it a rake anymore.

I must be pretty lucky then, I guess....cant see that there is anything mechanically wrong w/ the suspension back there....oh well, if it looks better and feels the same then thats gotta be on the plus side

I enjoy my subtle rake, but no as far as I can tell then rake is the same amount as the day thre springs were put on. I find it interesting that your back would settle in so much more than your front.

So is mine... and in only 2 months! I'm actually thinking of doing H&R OE's up front, and keeping the Comptech's in the rear to level it out a bit.... anyone with H&R OE's want to trade fronts???

If so give me a shout.

i have literally been asked 20 or 30 times, and when you realize that it will cost you 200 in labor again, when it could've been free before, you would've done it to begin with...
