The angle of the shots with the leaning of the car. This car was never loaded with weight and I am pretty light 170 lbs so no sag in suspension over time. I can take other pics to make the gap disappear. If you look at stock photos from honda advertisements for this car you will see the gap is similar. Trust me, if this car does not sell I will be dropping it.

Car lean, camera angle, very light duty- no suspension sag.
Check out official honda ads or brochures too see the original gap when they were new. This car was driven very gingerly by the OH "Original Hypermiler" my dad renato alisasis may he rest in peace. He bought this car new.

The fronts have the stock size of 165/70/13 and the rears have 175/70/13. I switch them around in their pairs depending on the situation. Im looking at some 155's for the future if I keep the car. The car below is also leaning slightly. This is just what a vx looks like with a like new suspension.
