    Not sure whats going on with the front end of your car but it needs to be lowered.

    JMO from photos but appears the front end is up an inch compared to the rear.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I believe that it is just a quirk of how it was parked (it's pretty uneven dirt there on that shoulder) but I will have a look. Seems odd that there would be a ride heigh issue since it is on fully stock suspension and at 28 years and 45,000 miles it should be pretty well settled in by now!

    I've found is actually the rear springs that sag. So it's not that your front is high, it's that the rear is low...
    ... However, these cars need to be lowered. The challenge height is what the car was actually designed for, the "factory" height is just a compromise for these cars being sold all over the world with very different roads. Lower your car the the height that works best for where you live.
    I lowered my 355 all the way down the the challenge height, never scraped here in Florida. Remember there is a critical rake front the rear.

    That certainly looks amazing but I worry I would scrape at that ride height with the super long front overhang of the 355. I have an angle from our driveway to the street that requires use of front axle lift on my Porsches and they have much shorter front overhangs.
