That's because it is, plus it's on an angle. I took the first pics really quick on Friday morning while getting my daughter in the car, so I wasn't thinking clear. I wanted to duplicate the same scene for the after shot. I would have thought the rear would have been a bit higher (maybe a 1/2 inch) since the front still has a small amount of gap. But the car sits flush and looks sleek. I'll give it some time and see what I think.

The prokits are too soft in the back. He'll be riding on the bump stops before long (possibly, the SS's have a lower profile BS.). Then say hello to crap ride in the back. I'm dealing w/ it now, along w/ NO traction and a very loose car.

You're going to live to hate the rear springs.. IMO, should have gone w/ a set of strano springs... Good shox, tho.. And nice car!!

Yeah, I'll probably end up with Strano's either way. These were used shocks and springs so they have settled already, they were on a WS6 prior. All I can say is I have traction, the rear squats hard on launch and the rest of the gears do just fine. I couldn't pass up the price for the full setup (everything for the price of what new Strano's would cost).

Plus if you look in this section (link below) you'll see I had an upper control arm go bad so I need to get the front suspension fixed ASAP.

On the upside I have a set of front KYB AGX's and stock springs that I'll be selling soon!
