It looks even with the front but since your pics are not straight its a little harder to make a solid assessment.

I like it as is.

The rear does indeed look too low and uneven with the front. I like the drop and I'm all for being low... but I think the rear should match the front or if anything be slightly higher on our cars.

It looks to me that the front is slightly higher than the back so you should lower the front.
Just kidding it looks great. Leave it like that!

Make it even an all 4 corners, it's not about how low it is, ajust so it's even other wise looks like you have too much weight in the back, or your airmatic is broken ... just my opinion, to each his own, other then that car looks hot !!!

I agree. You have to keep the lines of the car. On a side note, what kind of rims are those?? DAMN sexy.

Since you are asking; I'll give you my 2cents. As soon as you put a couple people in the back, it's gonna drop even more. Now you got an inverted rake. I would bring the back up slightly. Then you will have a positive rake. and more closley to even with people in it. Just my opinion oh course. Car is still "HOT".

+1 With people in the back, the car will look ugly and also when driving the car lowers which will make the car look lower in the back then the front.

IMHO it looks great. I have mine the same way.
When it come to having the passengers in the rear, it drops then the airmatic adjust to bring it back to the ride height I had it at.


Cheers,
