The car is well balanced stock. Then you drop the front lower than the rear, which screws up the whole point of a 50/50 weight. Not a major complaint of mine. It's just funny. I already knew the answer to my question. I was just reaching for the sky that there might SOME justification for this.


If you've ever looked at a lowered BMW (even with H&R springs which drop 1.5" front and .75" rear), the rear wheels are tucked under the fender WAY more than the front wheels. So if you have Eibach springs, which drop evenly, it'll make this aesthetic problem even worse. That's why I wouldn't change it... there's probably some type of technical reason, too.
