Rake - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I am in love with the raked look. That comes from my love of American muscle. A lot of the springs I have seen lower the rear more than the front. Has anyone lowered the front more than the rear? I'm curious to see what this car looks like raked.

Mine is but I'm on coilovers. I could snag a good picture tomorrow.
Here's all I have for now. Doesn't look as drastic in this but it's a solid 3/8 of an inch.

So far so good. Let's see more pics.

Most newer cars are hard to achieve a true muscle rake on because the rear arches are always smaller appearing than the front. I had this problem on my 240sxs and my mazdaspeed 3. I usually go by the rocker panel. It's kind of bad lighting but I do have a very noticeable rocker panel rake in person. But the car appears level, a front lip with a solid 3/8-1/2 inch rake will look mean and not retarded.
Maybe my other car fits your style more? Hehe

Yummy. My first car was a fox.

Here is mine. Man I miss her.

I don't understand the hate towards them lately. They're very fun cars to drive. People act as if they are some soulless creature. But they've obviously never owned one. I'm building a 351w over the winter and retaining the Efi. Should be a good runner.

Spitballing here. Would there be anything wrong with mixing and matching springs? Specifically Eibach Pro rear (1" drop) with Eibach Sportline front (1.4" drop)?

I realize that they are different spring rates.

Understeer and throwing off your suspension/handling
