    What do you guys think? Should I keep my OEM in the rear? I'm worried the weight in the trunk will make a rear SSC lower than the front I at least want the drop to be even with the front. I do have SSC for the rear, fyi; just not in because I didn't have time to roll the fenders today. Now that I see the slight rake I'm worried if I put in the SSC's it'll look sagged

    Think I need some spacers too ;P Axles are a little shaky w/ WOT

    I drove mine with SSC front and stock rears for a week. The rake was ridiculous to say the least.

    I got junk in the trunk...so it's not as bad as it could be

    New struts definitely help the car to recover from bumps too. I don't feel like a pinball like I did with my 104k struts

    I have Eibach's all around on my 04 and the car sits level with the ground. Because of the body lines of the car it has the appearance of a little bit of sag in the rear but if you look at the rocker panels towards the front and towards the rear it's actually level.

    i agree, i too have eibachs all around, just thought about what what a GP would look like without the apperance of the sag, stock looks too high so i was wondering what a 1in drop in the rear would look like.

    I think Vogtland or DNA springs would probably be your best bet for a slightly dropped look in the rear but still a tad of rake to it.

    'sag' isnt real. literally every car ever made has differently shaped fenders. the rear is always going to be lower when the car is dropped the same amount front and back.

    the raked look doesnt look good.

    oh!!! Well I'm pretty certain I want the rear swapped anyways. Purchased vinnie's spacers

    I'll probably do poly dogbones and solid lower engine and tranny mounts too
