I just recently noticed that when looking at my car from the side, it looks like the back of my car is lowered but the front is stock or very high.

I will take a picture and post it. I recently curbed my car, so I had to get some control arms and what not replaced. It doesn't look right to me, and was wondering what could be the cause of this problem, is it an easy fix?

the car is dirty, i live in Canada and its winter so dont mind it

Thanks

My front wasn't that high when I had the stock suspension. The rear looked about the same tho..

Did you buy your car used? If you did, there's a possibility that the previous owner changed the front shocks after he/she blew the original shocks.

 

Someone has screwed up the front setting & alignment by the look of things or installed perch pads in front. W203 should have no spring perch pads in front.

Spring pads may have been left out of the rear

 

Shocks(struts) have no affect on ride height, unless they are too short restricting spring movement.

 

Mine has a similar issue too, but its not quite as noticeable. Before I put H&R Sport springs in my car, the front and rear had about 3 finger spaces between the wheel and car, but after I lowered it, the back is more sunken in (no finger space) as opposed to the two finger spacing in the front. It's kind of odd because H & R springs are supposed to lower the car more in the front as opposed to the back; giving it that 'poised' look.

Here's a pic below. I might be nitpicking, but there is a pretty significant difference in gap between the front and rear tires and the car. So... Does anyone know what's up? I'm curious too.

 

I am the original owner, but i have never really noticed that the front sat higher than the rear. I am just curious as to why it is like this, because i have never seen this difference in gaps before on ANY car. I will take my car back to the mechanic where i had my tie rod arms replaced, to see if anything can be adjusted , it looks way too funky
