Hey, this is really interesting.  For all the ground clearance we
have (4" as I recall), our cars really do look like they're
riding high-- but I don't understand how just lowering the front
(and not the rear) could leave the car level, unless it's
nose-high to begin with, wich mine certainly isn't.

can someone straighten me out?
