Back of the Car sits in like crazy!!!!!
 
Ok i noticed that the 2004 and 2005 their back wheels go in so much and the car sits like it has a tons of brciks in the trunk look alright but is the 2006 and 2007 different in sense of shocks or struts cause mine doesnt sit like that i fit 3 fingers between the fenders so will this happen to mine in time too or?

I have a 2005. I have mad wheel gap.

nolanrob123 05-11-2007 07:37 AM

My 04 has that issue, the rear sits nice and low but the front looks higher.

My 05 also.

Gambit 05-11-2007 09:56 AM

my 04 looks just like notears'

dmc27 05-11-2007 10:04 AM

???? Twice as much space between the front wheelwell & tire when compared to the rear. That's the same on all stock 8s, IIRC. Tho I did not look into the 06 & 07 specs very much once I bought the 05.

I think that's what you're asking. Buy new springs and it'll be nice & even.

and for the love of all things unholy

what is it?????

NgoRX8 05-11-2007 11:36 AM

i never heard of a suspension change from 05 to 06. go snap a pic for us.

btw it's kinda hard to understand your question without periods...lol

AJ's Shinka 05-11-2007 12:58 PM

I have an 06 and it "looks" like it sits lower in the rear as well. Why is this? I need to get it lowered that will probably fix it. Thinking of going Eibach since that is the only one Les Schweib carries.

My 04' rear has much less wheel gap also.

Raptor2k 05-11-2007 01:30 PM

eh, never noticed this. I'll check out my 04 later, I'm still on stock springs unfortunately

#1Stunna 05-11-2007 02:40 PM

tO gIve you an example of how stupid you look because you can't use proper englIsh or grammr im going to type this very sentance for you to read and notice how after the word read there should have been a period but there isnt becuse im going to make a really long run on sentence to show you how stupid you look but i already said that so wasnt this stupid?

Use proper grammar and punctuation for God Christ's sake.

good job

Razz1 05-11-2007 09:56 PM

Your crazy...................

The car is even from the factory.

It's the style of the body.

After time the rear will sag as those shocks are cheap. You will also bottom out.

If I remember correctly it said somewhere in the manual they filled them up with fish oil. They use the Dominion brand.

When they fail, get your self a good pair of rear shocks and you will be fine.

You can change the ride height to make it look even but it will affect handling as the car's frame is not even.

Useless without pics.

mine is soft in the rear, I can put a 110lbs girl back there and she will start to bottom out. I took mine to mazda and they were like "huh you've been bottoming out in the back a lot" and I was like "ya I think the springs or something are gone" they said it was normal and I am just curious what the easiest solution to this would be. It has been like this since I got it (15K on it back then).
