its the way the body of the car is. it sits *** high, so when it is evened out, the back looks lower than the front. its normal and the only way you are going to have the car lowered

+1. The wheel gap from front to rear will be different, but the car is level/even...

i'd like to see a pick of how lowered is you're rear. my pro-kit lowered it just perfect, but the front gap is a little bigger than the rear. guess if i'd put some subs and whatelse u got there, my rear would go to low also. otherwise, it's just perfect. didin't had the cash at the time, and also in like 3 months, the pro-kit already killed a rear strut, so by the end of the week i'll order the tokiko's and also a bushings kit. so, i'd say it's all the stuff u got in the trunk.

go get a tape measure and measure from the ground to where the wheel well is. measure to the middle on each one (front and back) and the distances should be the same.

Thanks for all the help guys, I guess if you say it is normal than so be it. More thank likely I will just have to live with it. I will try and get pics up for you guys this weekend because I do not have a camera right now.

that looks like a very clean drop to me. the rear wheel well is actually a bit smaller than the front. my car looks like the rear wheel is tucking more than the front but when you look at the car in general, it still looks a little raked in the back. i think your cars drop looks real nice.
