Every time I put my 200sx in to Drive the rear lowers down noticably.

I was just wondering if this happens with anyone else's car

and if you know what causes it
and how to duplicate it inother cars

its most likely caused by the fact that over time the rear suspensions in our cars tends to get pretty weak.. and the springs sag pretty good... i'm shure this is whats causing your "drop down" problem (mine does the same thing).

change your shocks with a decent replacement and you will see a drastic difference

It is caused by a worn out rear suspension...when it gets really bad your muffler will hit the ground...

Now Why The F*** would you want to purposely do this to another car...remember, when you go to launch, if the car goes up, it isn't going forward, and that is the easiest way to LOSE a race!!!

irs cars need to squat a little to bite into the road... now if you muffler is hitting the ground that might be to much.

yeah... i'm pretty shure my rear is shot because i have some huge camber issues with my stock springs... and the rear sits pretty low.. but it looks level with the front.. so i don't really understand. Mabey the rear of this car was supposed to be a lil higher than the front when first manufactured? did that make sense? lol :dontknow:

Actually from the factory they looked like a 4x4

But yeah, if your car is low and the camber is off, it's spring time.

The fronts will sag without throwing the front end out.
