    Just as the title suggests. My front appears to sit higher than the rear. I had just put new struts all around about 3-4k miles ago. Any suggestions?

    I actually have the problem of mine sitting too high in the rear. Damn pos ssc springs.

    Your springs might be worn out, and easy way to tell is if you look behind the car and see the tires are sitting on an angle.

    Use olds intrigue rear springs if you want the squat to disappear on stock suspension...

    Right on, I figured it was a common thing, I just didn't really remember my parents GT, that was basically mine, doing that.
