So I was at the monthly Mustang Club mtg last night and I parked next to my buddies GT350. Both cars are optioned the same except for color/stripes/painted roof - tech pack cars. We walked out after the mtg and my friend said my car appeared to be sitting lower - but I assumed it was just because the AG and black top make it look lower and slimmer compared to the white. But sure enough, I did a rough measurement and my car was about 1/4+ lower. Measured front splitter and tire to fender clearance. My car has about 3500 miles while his has about half that. I know my car has been driven 'harder' than his, but I've only done 1 autox with it and I don't drive it stupid on the street. Anyone else notice when you've been parked next to another?

It's very common for cars to settle into their suspension with more miles on it. More than likely your car has completely settled while your friend's car has not yet.

That's what I assumed, but was just curious.

Can you measure how many inches your car at thee front between the ground and the splash apron. I'm beginning to wonder if I can get up my steep driveway when my car gets here.
