I agree it looks good in the pics...though it has no one in it and it has just a 1/2 tank of fuel. It seems very weight sensitive...ie if I fill up the tank the fender gap gets lower in the rear than the front.

I also noticed the other day when I got it aligned the tech was driving it and with his weight in the car it takes on the rear lower than the front fender gap also. He's about my size(160lbs) so I know when I'm driving it looks about the same...put in a passenger and it gets worse I'm sure.

Anyway, I think Sam came up with a workable, easy to install solution... adjustable rear spring seats like what come in coilover kits for our cars. The rear springs I have should fit on the seats. I just got to find some seats that, when adjusted to their lowest setting, won't raise the car too much. I'm looking at Steeda and Ground Control seats...just waiting to hear back from them.

It does seem like the verts are really sensitive to weight differences....quite an annoying problem.

Just thought I'd come back and update this thread...better late than never I guess.

After contacting SteedaGus on the forums with pics of my car he first sent me some stiffer (Competition) rear springs to try. They didn't really help much...just stiffened the ride a bit. So we ended up putting a set of Steeda Adjustable seats under the Sport rear springs...BINGO we have a winner. I got just over 3/8" lift in the rear at the lowest possible setting while still keeping the balaced ride of the Sport springs all around. So with me in it and a full tank of fuel the fender gaps are equal. As fuel burns off the car will take a slightly raked stance which is perfect.

Big thanks to SteedaGus and to Sam Strano.
