Thats how they all should be, even the SS's and SSV's appear to have EA spec ride height...

i love the photography, but the car look like a mong eyed dude, because the rear guard is alot lower than the front, just very noticable and not my cuppa tea. the height it sits on up the front looks good though

The more i look at VE's the worse they seem to get lol!, they just look to disproportioned, to big here, to little there!

Front Tyre to Guard gap is still too much!
Back looks great, but the front still looks like it's at my XR8's standard ride height! |

I still reckon they took an M3 Beema and stuck it on a 4x4 chassis...

Photography is great, however the car still looks bland and un-inspiring.
Also the difference between the front and rear tyre clearance is worrying. |

Yeah, I'd be uber ****ed to spend that much cash on a car and have the rear bar not even come close to matching the body of the car!

My XP has guards lower at the back than at the front.
What are you guys going to say when Ford releases the new range and lo and behold it has fashionable flared guards, fuel tank moved over the rear axle, american engine mated to the foreign six speed and chinese plastic bit 'n bobs? Will you be as damning then? |

Fuel tank is already infront of the rear axle... ZF was a foreign 6speed last time I checked, as well as the V8's

Then the Brisbane Motor Show is for you, because there is no shortage of paint shading on many of the vehicle makes. I was starting to wonder if it's not some new wave thing.
