Re: For those of you who were at the bees tonight...
Why are people using fender gap differences between front and rear as a ride height measurement?

Re: For those of you who were at the bees tonight...
Way to ruin the topic Matt...
We were just wondering why his car sat lower in the rear, it was odd looking.

Re: For those of you who were at the bees tonight...
It doesn't sit any lower in the rear, it just looks that way because the wheel opening is smaller. The fender wheel opening is bigger so that you can turn the front tires, and have the suspension compressed and not rub the tire on the fender.

DoughtCom, post a pic of your car so these retards can see what we're talking about. Sure some cars sit lower in the back and it has nothing to do with anything, but as we've said, his car appears to sit extra low in the back.

Re: For those of you who were at the bees tonight...
Ya know what I might have figured it out. Your car has snow tires on it. That might make it look goofy because of the large tread on each tire. Post pics if you can! |

Optical illusion because of the checkered floor. My car looks the same way.

Re: For those of you who were at the bees tonight...
WTF? Optical illusion? Yea it looked the same in the applebees parking lot.. There is barely any room to stick your hand above the tire and not touch the fender.

My point is if you measure the chassis clearance to the ground in the front and the rear the difference will be negligible. We've already established why the fenders are at different heights.
