Alright guys...I just got back from one of the local dealers here in Clearwater, and I inspected a 06 Laguana blue (still all taped up, but "was PDI'd"). And yes it did have the same ride height as my car!!! I guess the 06's sit higher than the 05's etc...I even asked one of the techs and he confirmed it!! Why the white 06 I saw the other day was lower than mine is beyond me I guess...

Rubber spring spacers. These are put on at the factory to keep the car from bouncing too much during shipping. They are to be removed as part of the dealer PDI. Some dealers are just too stupid to know about this.
also, does anyone have pics of these spacers?

). He may have changed his alignment. Maybe he had different tires or rims. Did you ask about any of these things?

There is a quick fix for this problem.....and all the supplies can be purchased at your local home depot.
here is what you'll need:
1. a few 90lbs bags of cement.
2. a welding torch.
Place bags of cement in trunk of car, heat up springs until car reaches desired height, let cool.
done.

everyone keeps asking about the damn spacers, ONEQUIKSTI, have you checked or not? all you have to do is feel your way behind the tire and check the spring
and btw, you went to the dealer and compared to a car that's still new and probably has the spacers also
and also, the spacers DO make a difference visually. at our weekly meets we've spotted 2-3 cars already with spacers from about 30 feet away.
