That's it. Exactly what I see when I look at my car today... 6MT, swifts, 15mm spacers and duckfeet. I think I was telling you earlier that it's not perfectly 100% flush. It's more, um, normal looking, if that makes sense. IDK what "perfect" would be for that configuration. A few extra millimeters on both, but not exactly the same front to back.

Just like the assessment on RWD Swift Springs: there's a lot more that's good here, much more so than there is not-quite-right, so it's a win.

It does look very even on your RWD sedan.. I don't know how is that possible...

That's what it looks like on my sedan, talk about uneven drop...

Screw Swift for their false advertisement of .8 drop in the rear.

I've found it quite interesting the range of drops that both the Eibachs and swifts give. My car (RWD on swifts) is very close to even. A lot closer than some pics I've seen on here. I don't get it

Post pics yada we'll compare. Here is my obvious uneven drop.

I think what a lot of people forget is that the front fender is higher than the rear by OEM design. This plays somewhat of a trick on our eyes and mind and kind of boggles the whole even drop idea. However the rear of my car does sit slightly and I mean slightly lower than the front. Here's all I have now, I'm detailing her after finals and will post more pics once done.

This. German cars are even worse.

So what's going on here, guys? Is it possible that identical cars with identical springs can have different drops? Or is it all about viewing perspective? I mean, I'm not in denial that the rear has an uneven gap as compared to the front, but then again, this pic here is nothing to freak out about:

Yadayada

Rochester brings up another good point, I belive. Viewing perspective is another game changer. Next time you aimlessly stare at your car (daily activity for me) pay close attention to how much higher (and bigger) the front fender is on the car. Not how far it is from the ground but rather where it is positioned on the car..

And how level the ground really is. A lot of my eye-balling is done in my 80 year old garage, where the floor is broken and uneven. And I live on an incline, too, so the driveway is never level either. That picture I posted was taken in the parking lot of a nearby school, which has a much better chance of being level.

Here's a couple more recent pics, with duckfeet, snows and spacers.



See this profile shot? This here is why I'm not freaking out. The rear could certainly come up 1/2", but this isn't too shabby, IMO.

That last profile pic is clear proof in the pudding rochester. Looks like an inch difference which is unacceptable in my opinion.

Yadayada

The profile pic of Rochester's car shows exactly what I'm talking about. Look how much higher the front fender is cut than the rear. It's making it seem higher than it really is. I'm not denying that it has more of a gap than the rear, however it's not all due to the fact of an uneven drop. Some of that is due to a higher cut fender.

Damn, until now, I've never noticed that, now I see what you're talking about and you sir are definitely right about this, that being said, the companies providing the springs for our cars, should've thought about this and compensate for it having the front springs drop a bit lower

Does anyone know a vendor for the front Grille Emblem? The emblem on my G needs to be replaced.

Yadayada

This is very true. These companies normally make springs for many many car manufactures so I'm sure they can't get that detailed with their products. But for our sake I wish they would have! In the end, the gap is nothing I can't live with. The ride with my swifts couldn't be better and I see no reason for coils on my daily driver.
