I have an '05 6Mt sedan. This has the stock sport suspension. The rear of the car seems to sit about 1/2 and inch lower than the front. It is definately noticable.

ANybody have this problem?

 

Yessir, however, I do believe its an optical illusion due to the height from the ground to the bottom of the front and rear fenderwells (Rear fenderwells "hang" lower than the front)....its a Nissan sedan thing...all three of my Altimas had it, my Maxima had it, and now my G has it.

 

Yep, the rear wheel wells are lower than the fronts. The reason being the rear wheel wells don't have to deal with pivoting wheels. The front wheel wells are larger because when the car is leaned over in a turn and the wheels are turned, they need that extra room.

One thing I have noticed about the Sport suspension is that it does appear to be fractionally lower than the non-Sport setup. I'm talking about 1/4". I've got the G coupes springs and the front gap is definitely larger. It's 1.8" in the front and .7" in the back. Standing back, it almost looks like the rear tire is flush with the fender.

 

Only when there are two or more dead bodies in the trunk..

(I need a new hobby)

 

Why can't they just make the fender hang low enough so the wheel gap is minimal? They should have that option

 

What about fender gap between the non-sport rwd vs the X?

 

The X sits about a 1/4" higher than the non-Sport so the fender gaps increase accordingly. At least it's not as bad as the AWD Dodge Magnum and AWD 300C. I saw my first 300C Hemi AWD yesterday and it was hilarious. I kid you not, the wheel gaps were over 5" in the front and nearly 6" in the back. The car looked silly.

 

Agree! If you get a chance check out the Volvo V50 AWD. It looks like it's been goosed.

 

My 03 AT Sedan with Sport Suspension sits slightly lower in the front.

 

My '04 non-sport has similar stance - I like the profile, but from the rear it stands too tall. Profile definitely looks lower in front. Sorry, the attached pic is the only full view profile I have.

 

The X sits .5 of an inch higher than non-sport.

 

Why is it that BMW seems to have the fender to tire gap situation all figured out?

My G sport sits lower on the rear.

 

First time i've noticed this was with my newphews Altima, the Fender is cut higher in the front hen the rear, giving the illusion that there is more gap in the front then the back... I have no idea why they do this, but it seems Nissan does this will all there sedans. The 350z and the G35 Coupe do not suffer from this problem... I have noticed this on few other late sedan models of Mercedes and BMW also.. I have no idea why they do this to sedans and not coupes... Weird... Only way to fix the illusion is to get a set of springs that lower the front more then the rear...
