Default fronts and rears are not equal. It looked ok to me, until I took a photo... The shop floor is not

the best place to judge the height difference. I'll take it in for alignment in couple days. I'll raise it a bit, before than.. It's like trimming my sideburns...

Default lower the front a little, I think it is best if the front is a 1/4 higher on these cars

your front looks a little closer to a full inch higher

I'll raise the rear I think... as soon as I get the right tools. I don't have those flat wrenches...

I think you are happy with it right? And do you by any chance have any pictures?

Default 2nd, doing some final adjustments on mine before I go in for an alignment...

25" ground to fender (13" from center of hub) in the rear and 25 1/4" (13 1/4) in the front.

Default Lol... did I mention I have 15" wheels. I can't go that low at the center of the hub. :) However it

would really help if you remember the thread measurements I'm almost at the top end for my fronts and it's still quite low with the 15" wheels.
