Maybe its just the position of the car, but I see a big fender gap in the front and not much in the rear... like the car sits unevenly.... does it?!

Are those 20"?

I agree 100% ...I need to adjust the front about 3/4". Yes they are 20" wheels. The ride is reasonable for the tires size (30)...koodoz to MBZ

I dont know about you guys but I always have this feeling of the CL being lower at the front then the back when you even the front and rear ride heights.

Its like C Class, the back will always look higher then the front. Unless you lower the front less then the back to make it even. But the fender gap will be different with the front being noticebly more then the rear.

What do you guys think? I can't help it but notice that on my CL everytime.

yeah the car's body rakes upward as it goes towards the back... but that's part of the design and what makes it look good! the gap is actually even from the factory front and rear... if you lower it, it should still be the same front and rear...

Proform's car has clearly been lowered, and clearly not correctly as there is a larger gap up front. I don't think you should mess with that ratio, you will really thhrow off handling and weight distribution. If you lower, lower the same on every wheel.
