Here are the pics after the new V7 S202 Spec C Suspension. You will notice that the whole car lowered by ~0.500-.750 inches.

time for you guys to get it!

nice.. but i think i'm gonna go for the ggb suspension.. it'll slightly lower the car as well.. ^^

i'm guessing spec C suspension would lower the car more than the ggb suspension.. just cuz its spec C and also how it isn't made for wagons. so its possible that the rear of his car is slightly lower than the front... then again... i think that's how most of the wagons are by default.

Spec C is lower due to the different spring.
the Wagon suspension in inversed so the setup is suppose to be upside down.
so it's more like stock sti suspension

actually they have both inverted and non-inverted.. inverted is supposedly the newer design. its suppose to absorb a bit better than then non-inverted struts.

i'm guessing it has to do with the weight distribution of the car as a whole.

from what ive read.. this difference in height is for handling purposes. when you brake and enter into a turn the nose will dive forward evening out the large gap in the front. its more technical than this, but thats all i can remember at the moment.. if you look at jgtc cars the rear gap of the wheelwell is always lower than the front. something about controling the exiting airflow to create more downforce from underneath the car, hence the vortec generators under the rear bumper. i could be wrong but thats i remember... my 0.02

i thought the reason the front look taller than the rear was because the fender roll was just formed higher than the rear..
so it's just visually the front look high??
i might be wrong too..i thought i heard that from someone.
