Yeh the back is alot lower.
and it wasnt all that high before bcoz of the xr5/zetec springs.
kerbs and speed bumps are ambitious.
lowest part is front of side skirt at 10.5cm from ground level.

Looks gnarly!.

Could just be the camera angle but there seems to be more than usual camber on the back wheels. Is it just my imagination?

Nah, there is quite a bitof camber, but im not too bothered, the back is very low, those bumpy country roads make it bottom out but, sacrifices are to be made.

Can't be much of an issue then

Just have to rotate your rubber I suppose.
I had to do that on the LR and that wasn't even lowered!

it was $16 for rotate and balance mine at last service (ultra tune). Well worth doing for the extra life it gets out of your tyres.
