Tokico kit uneven?

[GAdriver]

I have been debating between the Tokico illumina shock and spring combo, or illuminas w/ the pro-kit. (Maybe even the tein s-techs.)
But it seems like in all the pics I see of 2Gs w/ the tokico combo, the rear looks higher than the front. You people that have this kit does it sit like Joe Dirt's car or what?? Any help is appreciated.

I am running the pro-kit/illumina combo, a friend of mine has the tokico springs with tokico blues. I would say the front is about the same, but the rear is maybe 1/8" higher with the Eibach's. But then again, I like the raked look.

Well check out my gallery to see the stance of the Tokico spring & Illumina combo. The back end does sit slightly higher then the front, but defently doesn't looked jacked up. I like the stance of the car much better then alot I have seen, the back being slightly higher makes the car look more agressive to me. I personally don't like the look of the car when the front & rears are completely even because of the size differences in the wheel wells, it always looks like the back end is sagging. I know the sportline kit does this & I think the pro kit does as well.

2Gs handle better with the rear higher than the front because this keeps the rear roll center up. Also, 2Gs gain camber in the rear (with lowering) faster than in the front, so the "stink-bug" look reduces the need for (large) camber kits.

ps. please keep the cosmetic comments to yourselves ... at least, in this forum

Well I had my mind set on the tokico kit after seeing these pics...

But this pic has thrown my off, these car look like they have 2 different setups on them but they dont.

I think I may just go with the tein s-techs because they seem to drop more evenly.

You've got to remember that the black car is a GST (not sure on the owner), and the red car is a GSX (Chadillac2000)...
