The front has been low, but the rear was a bigger issue. The rear has heavy duty springs at the moment. The front sag has the car tilted. With the low height, the spoiler got trashed, the shields under the car trashed, the car feels tilted, etc. The car drives better at it's nominal height. That makes sense as that is how it was engineered. Why would I not want the car at it's nominal height if that is possible? To lower the car properly one needs different springs and struts. The car is low enough at nominal height for my purposes.
There are at least two people here who have gone to the trouble of making custom solutions to lift the front of 9-5s. Measure yours and you are likely to find the front low like the rear. The folks that got the math wrong on the rear did the same fantastic job up front.
I don't rally, but NYC roads can sometimes feel like rallying.
