18 eb vert sits higher in front?

[justme97]

At first I thought it was in my head but I’ve had some people comment on it to me, my car seems to sit a bit higher in the front. The picture below is from before I took delivery and you can slightly notice it but nothings changed. Has anyone else noticed this on theirs?? I don’t really want to put lowering springs in because I love the curb clearance after having a really low z4 before but I would like a little more of a balanced look...

After staring at lowered cars all day they all look high in the front.

I ended up putting a set of min drop springs on the front of mine and leaving the rear alone. Gave the car a little rake and didn't kill ride height.

Our GT is the same. It's 3/4 inch higher in the front. I don't know for sure, but it may settle a bit after more miles. We only have 130 miles on it right now.

That’s interesting, I thought for sure it was because the eb engine is lighter. Maybe has to do with pedestrian crash impact standards. Higher front is safer I believe.

I don't know for sure that the car sits higher in the front. Most cars that are actually level look like they sit higher in the front. We are used to seeing SUVs and trucks that have a rake in the back. If you measure just in front of the front wheel and just behind the back wheel, what do you get?

Get some BMR minimum drop springs... you will still have plenty of clearance... nice color choice by the way .... :cheers:

Ebm, oddly is actually does. I measured from the middle of the center car to the rim of the fender, front and back. It's not much, and I really didn't even notice until Justme mentioned it. I had to see it for myself.

The EB springs more then likely are not the same as the GT springs. They are specific to the weight of the car.

Perhaps you should ask about whatever mod the dealer has installed on the red Focus in the background of your photo. That definitely sits lower in the front.
