Who else here has Coil-overs on their C32? Andwhy are so many C32s lower in the rear?
Almost EVERY picture ive seen of a C32 is at least a pinch lower in the rear. My car was too high in the rear, so i adjusted the fronts. i took them down about as far as i could (before the spring perches where touching the tires), yet it is, frustratingly, STILL lower in the back. Soooo, i figured i would just have to raise the back a little (ideally, i would want a little rake, with the front a little lower). I havent taken the rear wheels of yet, but looking in there the last time it was on a lift, i just didn't see threaded shocks in the rear. I have KW V2 coil-overs (and in the rear, the coils are not "over" the shocks, they are separated).
Anyone have these coils, or are familiar with coils on this car? Before i drive all the way to my friends shop to use the lift, i want to know exactly what im doing/looking for....
Thanks!!!

if you even the wheel gap front and rear the car has a natural rake from it's design. The underbody will be horizontal and the car will appear to have a rake.
here's my setup with 1-finger gap all around.
