back of the car sits WAY higher than the front

endlessmike · 10-04-2004, 06:07 AM

i always noticed the back sat higher, but after putting my rear rotors on its a rediculous difference. i have an eibach sportline/agx combo.

how can i fix it? what do you think the problem is?

The problem is you don't have a large enough stereo in the trunk. That will take care of that wheel gap problem.

I believe the sportlines come with a 1/2 front rake. Judging from your pics it looks like you have more than a inch diffrence. Heck your rear gap almost looks stock!

This is out of the ordinary. Most people whine about the back being lower, without realizing that the rear is a bit lower on the STOCK suspension.

Are you sure the springs are installed correctly? It almost seems like you might have the fronts on the rears and vice versa. Do you have a pic of the whole car from the side?

same thing happened to me w/prokits and gr2's

i bought the car with the springs on it. i thought the sportlines gave a 1.9" all the way around? is there any way to tell by looking at the springs what is front and what is rear?

are you sure you didnt install the fronts in the rears and the rears in the front. dont feel bad, i did it too. i was all like "dayum this sh*te is slammed" but then i realized the front was so low because it had the rear springs. dah. well hopefully you figure out what is wrong. if not, put like 2 or 3 12"s in the back. it will lower it for you.

Your wheel wells are different. All sentras are like that. The rear wells are deeper than the front so the front will look lower than the rear but in reality they are the same. It's just an illusion.

You've got that backwards.

And like everyone else has said, I bet your springs were installed incorrectly. Swap the fronts with the rears!
