Default Anyone elses car lower when you put it in reverse?
When I put my car into reverse, it feels like the rear of the body drops about two inches, then when I shift into drive it raises back up. Only thing I could think of is that I installed LCA relocation brackets over the winter. Is that what's causing it?

I'm pretty sure that's normal for auto transmission cars. I've had a couple that did that.

I think it's just the torque loading your suspension a little bit.

Mine does it whether I'm just putting into drive or when trying to launch it. Pretty funny , both my GN & Syclone that I had did it also.
