And with the front being at stock height, that's basically the same as having the V-Maxx lowering springs.

Sad but true. Im basically stock height up front, the rear is lower so i have reverse rake

If u measure ur rockers, I bet its not reverese rake... the vmaxx springs need 1/2" more drop in frt to be true 35mm drop frt and rear... ;)

I guess its just the way it looks :/

Correct, it's a visual reverse-rake. The rear fender would be over an inch lower than the front before it actually became technically 'leveled'.

Some people like for their cars to look like the trunk is loaded down when it's not. Just imagine what those cars would look like when they actually were...

At least it's finally being acknowledged that something is wrong with them, just like I said many months ago. Hopefully those of you guys that spent money on them actually can get a fix.
 
I'm hoping by 1st of the yr, I want the fix also... or the new redesigned Coil Overs
 
A fix would be nice. The front of mine has dropped slightly but the back really came down.
 
Take the body out of the trunk [giddy] lol... Jk ... yea a fix would be awesome
 
I think its the best option for CAI because it keeps the original bottom half of the intake box. With that it keeps the flow of cold air from outside the car coming im and traping around the filter. Unlike the k&n and steeda where it uliminates the original box completly and only takes air in thats already been warmed by the engine.
 
That would technically be a ram air intake. Does it use a new MAF housing? A true CAI out the air inlet outside of the engine bay or uses a ram air scoop with a sealed box.
 
It replaces the top of the original box with an open lid thats lind with a rubber seal that molds to the hood when closed. The original box has a sorce of ram like air at the oulet where the snorkel attactes to. The steeda CAI intake elimnates that completly where roush takes that and uses it with the new system. Therefore it takes whats there and adds that to their system.
 
Steedas is technically a ram air intake also. So it uses the stock maf housing?
 
The Roush intake seems like a rip off IMO. ~$200 for essentially a open airbox top and a k&n filter? No thanks. Why not just do k&n, snorkel delete, and remove the airbox top and save ~$150.
