I was wondering what would make the front sit so much lower then the back for suspension. When I say this I mean specifically the space between the wheel and the wheel well.

I don't think this is normal, but could my front and back springs/shocks be switched accidentally or something? The front springs get narrow further down(more like a cone). I am just making sure nothing was done wrong by the previous owner here and needs to be corrected.

Maybe strut top lowering from mazdatrix?

Doesn't look that outta place to me though.

 

Broken/sagging springs or lowering springs at the front, perhaps? Because the rear openings are actually smaller, as on most cars, since the wheel doesn't need to clear the fender for steering. Alternately, maybe it has the wrong springs on the rear (although that would be difficult, the rears are a particularly tall spring, hard to mix and match with another car). In any case, it should not sit lower at the front, unless someone was trying to recreate the look of 60's and 70's muscle cars set up for drags. Which would be gay.

Afterthought: maybe you should look under the back and see if it still has the independent trailing arm suspension. Maybe a previous owner stuck a Ford 9" rear under there for drags.

 

you wouldnt believe what someone did to my 7 , when i bought it and brought it home i lifted it up and noticed someone had put civic springs on the front which made it feel like ****

 

if you have s-teck sprngs and tockico stuts thats how it going to sit, i have them when i got my first fc and thats how it looks but wasnt tiff enough so i ot megan track colovers stiff as hell and fully adjustable so you can set it exactly how you want it

 

That is what they are, and honestly I don't care for the look. I prefer a balanced look. I wonder if anyone would want to trade theirs. I know mine are fairly new.

The last guy was honest and right about everything he put on the car and he only had it for a year. Any idea what they would go for used so I would know what to expect? I wouldn't mind paying extra to have some adjustable coil-overs.

 

Or is there a way to raise the front the 1.5 inches?

 

if you want to be cheap and ghetto you can cut you rer springs but it want be even and it will kill your spring rate

but suspension wise coilovers are worth it, if you get a decent brand

 

It could be partly due to the inclination of the driveway. What does the car look like parked the other direction?

 

When new, the front is lower than the back.
