commonly referred to as "invisible caravan" or reverse rake, looks crap. i see too many cars like this. if you cant manage/afford/etc to do the fronts, dont do the back.

forward rake FTW!!!!!

I disagree, no rake FTW....:p

Has anyone noticed that the higher spec the Commodore the lower the ass gets. Statos are often draging the tank :p
I think it's for the gangsta look :p

I reckon the front of my car could come down a little more (only an inch) but it sits perfectly level at the moment and that's how I wanted it. If I did do the front it would look as if it sat arse high which looks stupid.

As said its the "Invisible Caravan" look.
They do it because, look how many old people towing caravans are getting pulled over and hassled by the cops, absolutly none. So the New P-plate thing is to make your car look like your towing a really heavy and poor loaded caravan so the cops think your just some old half wit and dont even think about pulling you over. Sounds right?
