Yes, or the spring or struts in back are worn.

...that looks like Wil44's car, if so, he is riding on air suspension.It may be at ride/stock height (on this pic),but he can sit it on the ground with the touch of a button

Yep, that's my car and Tex is correct, I am on air and thats the ride height. which is lower than stock.
They are 19"'s.
All down, low, ride height and high presets in the pictures.

Cheers
Steve

Hi Moe

I looked into this picture a bit closer after your post and this is a bit weird. It is actually a picture taken before I changed to air, when I was lowered on Megans.
The thing is the picture has been doctored!!!!
This is the picture, but as you can see if you compare it with the picture posted, it has been cropped, the small sign on the wall has gone and the white pipe which is the condensing pipe for the aircon has gone too!!!
Why would someone do that?????


This was taken in March 2011.

Cheers
Steve
