I dont like that look, but if is serves a purpose let me know. I assume its to take the bumps more or something to that sort(when the front is higher)

 

It's a Honda thing. It's partially for the reason you stated... and also because the engine is in front and that makes the front heavier.
Honda has a nasty habit of putting safety first and assuming the worst case scenario... which is fine if you're 72yrs old and female.
For the rest of us, there's a company called H&R.

 

My RL isn't lower in the rear. At least not to the naked eye. I didn't take a ruler to it

 

I agree. Mine's not lower in the rear either.

 

How many people do you have in your trunk?

I don't notice this in my car, either.

 

Maybe have a look at the rear suspension/shocks of the car?

I don't have this either.

 

The RL is not a very popular car in Newark. A Lincoln Towncar, now THATS a car baby. My God, you can fit 2 bodies in that trunk.

 

Like others, this doesn't seem to be the case with my RL and if the rear is lower then it is not obvious.

 

I have to agree. My car seems pretty level. Not sure if the A-Spec suspenders has anything to with it, but the other RLs on lot looked pretty level too.

 

My RL is definitely lower in the back, not that noticeable, but if you measure, definitely different. Maybe it's a 2005 thing?

 

How do you measure lower or higher?

What is the reference point from the ground? The top of the wheel arch, a specific line on the car? Visually, I don't see it, but maybe you could measure it.

Thanks

 

Exactly Chas. What do you measure? The car is not a symmetrical box, so there's really nothing to measure from one end to the other. I guess it's more of a visual perception thing rather than a measurement. To me, my RL "appears" like the rear end is a bit higher not lower.

You could measure the distance from the ground to the lowest point in the underbody. That would give you an idea if you have a suspension problem. The underbody should probably be relatively level. Short of that, it's all perception

 

If you're going off the wheel wells, remember, the fronts have a larger radius to accommodate the whole wheel turning thing. A lot of cars are like this and it's becoming more pronounced as manufacturers focus more on fuel efficiency. Smaller gap = lest wind turbulence = less drag = better highway mileage.

 

Tire to wheel well. I've owned a LOT of cars and this is the only one I have ever seen this on.

 

I do not buy the tire to wheel well measurement. That distance is a body design feature, but does not mean that the rear is lower than the front. I would do something like take the line defined by the chrome rub strip along the side of the car that carries into the bumpers. That seems like a better reference point.
