car higher than others
Hi People...
so, I recently bought a 2014 Gt86 completely stock. but the other day I parked next to another one (also stock) and just discovered that my car is something like 1" higher on the back than the other.. I talked to the owner to see if it was really stock and yes... completely stock. now watching pictures, my does seem to be a little higher... Is there something I have to look to? P.S. sorry for any error, english its not my first languaje |

Did the other guy have a dead hooker in the trunk?

Check the rear springs for shipping spacers.

My car had this same problem. My friend's black BRZ looked lower than my red FRS.
It wasn't, but the contrast of my bad ass red paint made the body of my car APPEAR higher than his car, that was all black. We made sure to fix this by getting him some nice coilovers so we knew his was lower Last edited by DarkPira7e; 11-11-2020 at 11:51 AM. |

mileage was a little higher in my car...
stock wheels rims, and everything... did not see any shipping spacers... and being a 6 year old car that has passed some state inspection would be something really weird... will check this tonight |

If everything is stock it is really the only probable explanation for that big a difference.
