Default Rake on the car

Morning all,

Does anyone now the differene in the front ride height and rear ride height, to impart the rake angle that the car should have? I've lowered the car with BC coilovers, but just want to make sure the rake angle is right.

Thanks

It's under suspension in the maintenance section, there's a diagram for pre-facelift.

I set mine up angled forwards for no other reason that it looked better. Nothing bad has happened.

I wouldn't worry about it. Do what you want.
