does my car look like its been lowered?
ive noticed my car bottoms easily, it feels like the suspension isnt working right. does it look like my car has been lowered or does it look like the suspension is just sagging and i need to get new stuff? or is this how its supposed to look? from some other pictures of svx's ive seen they look like they sit highter than mine does. im just not sure if its supposed to look like this or if there is something wrong like someone lowered it or its suspension is sagged out. sorry for the dirty pictures, she hasnt had a bath in a while. i just dont see the point when i live on a dirt road haha. thanks for any opinions!

I don't think it looks lowered either. I'll also add that when she's cleaned up I bet she's one fine example of an SVX. Nice car!

thanks everyone! i guess i just need to get some new struts and what not. she is pretty nice, except last week someone hit my pass. wheel well right between the door and the panel, bent the door and the panel a little bit. i was pretty pissed about that. again, thanks for the opinions, i dont see very many svx's to compare mine to, at least i dont see them sitting still, maybe once a month on the highway. i just dont think mine should bottom so easily and i think it should have a smoother ride. ill just look into the suspension some more!

Doesn't look lowered to me. The SVX just rides low and hits stuff. I'm still not quite used to it because I drove a Legacy for a while. Every now and again I hit the tow hooks on deep slopes.

When I was on stock suspension I found myself bottoming out on steep driveways. If I inched up on an angle I would avoid scraping the tow hooks.
Are you bottoming out on potholes or going up driveways?
