    If you want to get even more scientific you should measure from the ground up to the inside fenders. BTW I just did the same thing for lulsies and my front is 6.2" off the ground. Rear is 7" off the ground. Makes sense as my springs were 1.4"F/0.7"R. IMO, that ~.8" rake visually makes a big difference visually.

    ^and I stand by what I said. You still don't have a forward rake - your pics proved it. In fact I think you even had a forward rake before you installed these springs.

    Better charge that battery too. :)

    Every car on the road has taller front fender wells to compensate front turning wheels. So are you saying every car from the factory has reverse rake?

    @Macmaster- its not about fender height, or fender liner height. Its about how the actual suspension geometry changes. The front fenders could be taller than the rears giving the look of reverse rake.

    Also in the case of the prius, the weight transfer is helped with the slight reverse rake since the car is so front weight biased.

    You're absolutely right that front fender wells are larger. To answer your question, maybe. Maybe not. It doesn't matter though. Springs that drop the front lower than the rear help lower the visually deceptive larger front fender well.

    You're missing my point. It doesn't matter. "The look of reverse rake" caused by larger front fender wells is just as bad as a reverse rake.

    Battery isn't that big and located in front of the rear "axle". The weight is a 70/30 towards the front if I remember right.

    edit: Oh you ninja edited the point was addressing >_<
