???? 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

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.

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

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.

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).
