Default 1992-1996 Front And Rear Diff.

Does anyone ever notice that all or at least most of the es300 rear is lower then the front by alot. i can put my fist into the front, between the wheel and the fender, but the rears I think i can stick two to three fingers in it. I changed the struts already. I have 90,000 miles.Could it be the springs?.....

I can't stand the gap difference -- I have an eibach pro-kit matched with kyb struts right now, and it makes my car look weird. I can put about 3-4 fingers between the front fender gap, but my rears slighty tuck the tire.

Question

I changed the rears to kyb struts and I still didnt raise it back up.
I have a box with 2 Kicker Solo-Baric. Thats all I have in the trunk, and if i have two people in the back i bottom out alot when i drive over a bump fast. I always have to slow down alot be for going over it, And when u drive in New York theres alot of pot hole.

once i saw a really nice ES on the freeway. classy wheels, clean wax job, and lowered about 2". i get next to it and notice it probably wasn't lowered....it had a bunch of old people squeezed in the car.

I've got B&G and Tokico setup on mine and it made the gap difference less apparent, but it's definately still there. It also helped to pull out the spare tire, although I'm sure many of us don't care to do that. I've gotta do it anyway to make way for the stereo system that'll drop the back end down again. I'm gonna have to make the system in the trunk as light as possible, means more fiberglass and birch instead of MDF, which means more cost and time.
