I've read this before, but mine sits lower at the back and has standard sports suspension according to the logbook.

Met with a few of the guys today and you could clearly see the difference, particularly the rear arches.

Yup. I didn't realise what a big difference there is until you see them side by side. Very obvious.

Same here, I have standard suspension and the back has always sat lower - from the day I collected it new.

I read that the car is designed that way due to the engine being forward of the front axel (a true front engine car).

All sit lower at the back - it's just that with SS+ the back looks lower still, while the fronts appear unchanged (making the difference all the more pronounced)

Yep its the arches that are higher at the front. From the front and rear jacking points under the body, they should all be the dame level.
