Quote, originally posted by xmasguy »anyone else have Canuck Motosports lowering springs on their AWD Vibe notice the same thing? I had mine installed less than a year ago and the front end is riding a little lower than the rear. (not sure by how much, may try and measure) you can see a good recent pic in my garage.is this normal? is there anything I can do to make the rear even with the front that without it being a major pain in the rear? Take a good straight on side pic at wheel level and post it, asap please, so I can see the difference. I have CM AWD springs coming next week.

Nevermind I saw you just posted one in your Garage:It looks pretty good. Not much difference in height. What, maybe 1/2"? Put some weight in the back...? LOL J/K. Actually, it looks perfect to me, I'd prefer it just like yours is, for when there is extra weight in the car.PS: Is your gas tank full or empty?

hmmmm that could mean that your struts are unhappy.. or toasted? does your car seem kinda bouncy? like if you push down on the hood. are you getting a springy effect? That may not be the problem so hope I'm not worrying you too much either way. I just had some rear struts go bad one time and it was like the rear was lowered and the car had no dampening force left. just a bouncy springy ride!! and time for new struts.
