rear springs sagging
i have a 2000 TL. i noticed the rear wheel gaps are a little narrower than the front oens. is this normal? the service manager at my dealer told me its normal for this car ; the springs are softer in the rear for improved comfort. what do you guys think? anyone with the same problem?

The H&R springs are also F 1.75 R 1.5. Remember this are approximate numbers.

the rear springs may be softer...that would have alot to do with the fact that we have an engine up front that the springs need to support again has nothing at all to do with the smaller fender well gap in the rear...lastly the TRD SOLARA is 1.25/1.75 now what???thats front/rear
