Default They are 18" Calera's with Toyo T1R's

It's just a premium suspension. The other poster is correct, the lower stance is from the weight of all the gear in the back. With the gear, kayaks, and passenger, the sound of the exhaust note was much lower under acceleration at any speed.

It is just from the weight of the gear. With all the extra weight, the exhaust note became very low and sweet to hear. I'll be putting the Stasis TrackSpsort coilovers on her when they are available.

Default 20' and 21' kayaks on A3

<center><img src="http://appliedeccentrics.com/kayak/A3rack.jpg"></center><p>I haul kayaks on mine too (and lumber to build one the one ready for a platic wrap test). This is the "Audi" rack made by Mont Blanc. A3 is "Ocean Blue", of course.
