Default It raised ud--Dammit!!!

Have any of you guys out there installed a lighter exhaust than stock and notice a larger rear wheel well gap?? Well I did I had a custom exhuast installed that weighs approximately 40 lbs. The ride heigth was perfect with the stock exhaust, but has now noticeably raised up. FYI I'm running KG/MM race springs.

custom exhaust that weighs 40lbs? the stock one weighs 54lbs. so there's not that much difference that should cause a gap in your ride height, especially with the kg/mm's.

Having removed the spare, tools and adding a Ti exhaust there was not a real large difference in the way my car sat above the rear tires. And this was about a 70lb. reduction but withTein RA's. I would suspect you just did not pay real close attention as to the actual ride height before the new exhaust.

I think you just need to drive around the block to let the suspension settle back down. I assume you raised the car to install it!!

I agree you might not have noticed it before that is all. I have single Amuse and no spare and it looked the same to me as it did before
