Default Suspension question.. On my previous setup I had my rear tucked in while the front had a little
of a fender gap to accomodate for my et32 offset.

I just switched to the PSS9 (just got in in the mail) system i am thinking of doing the opposite and having my front a little bit lower than the rear.
Are there any benefits to this?

or should i just keep it at the same level all around?

Default Keep them level. If you use the top of the front and rear wheel arch as a reference...
You will already have a positive rake on the car. The way the B6 body is built the wheel arches are not really level as far as the suspension is concerned. To your eyes the car looks level put in reality the front end is lower if you were to measure the car front its suspension points.

Does that mean if the ground-to-fender height is equal on F/R, we still get a positive rake?

Default Any idea how much of a rake it is?
I'm still trying to figure out how to make sure I'm running a "performance-orientated" positive rake.
