either the rear is too low, or the front is too high.

it's perfect!

Actually rear fender arch is lower than the front since it doesn't need the clearance for turning wheels. So it will look lower when the car is the same height front and rear.

you just admitted the rear looks lower, so I guess I'm right.

Precived vs actual.

You implied it WAS lower. I said it looks lower but it isn't.

Whether it is "too" low is the issue you've raised.

</SEMANTICS>

I think we can infer from your observation that you feel that the rear looks lower than the front, and, by extension, that you mean to suggest that the front and rear arch clearances should look equal.

The two clearances are never equal, even in the factory configuration, for the reason S4iowa cites.

I must admit that the rear looks so tight in that first shot that the arch and the wheel appear to be contiguous.

In fact, I might even go so far as to say that this car will be nose-heavier than in factory condition, and certainly much nose-heavier than STaSIS would like to see.

The *difference* in clearance between the front and the rear is not as big as it 'should' be, suggesting that this car has been set up with an eye toward appearance first, and handling neutrality second.

This car may plow more than if it were set up with more height in the front, yes ?


But it sure does look BADASS !!!

Jack into the bus, watch the tilt sensor values.

Note them.

Drive around in one circle and measure again.

Duly Note Them.,

Drive in opposite circle.

Note any difference.

Are the sensors more precise than rubber bushings ?

Perhaps not...

Anybody know for sure ?

Dude, I wish it was mine ;-) It's a customer car that GMG recently did.

How much for the exhaust and suspension parts alone? thanks.
