wheel well question

[Rebellion]

The distance from the floor to the wheel well (fender/quarter panel) when the car is stock...is it longer on the front than the rear?

I thought it would be because of the shadow of the fender...but I think actually the front wheel well is a touch higher than the rear. Wanted to confirm this...

This is correct because the front suspension also has to comp for the motor upfront so its typically a tad bit taller and stiffer based on my knowledge. needless to say that is why when a vehicle is lowered the front drop is more then the rear.

Yes the front is a tad taller so that when you full crank the wheel does not hit the fender.

Understood. I was sort of worried that my overall drop ended up level, but I know I dropped a tiny bit more on the front.

Now I have to raise the rear to get rake...which was my original intent.

Usually people do 1/8-1/4 lower on the front as you can see that's how most lowering spring are sold.

Some can go to 1" as well. And or skip all of that and jump to coilovers to be able to fully adjust the way you like.
