2015 RVR rear suspension sag problem

Hi, I'm wondering if the problem is bugging any 2015 RVR/OS owners. By looking at the front and rear fenders from a distance, the rear fender gap is narrower than the front by a good 1 inch or a bit more. It makes me think if my rear suspensions are broken. There not much stuffs in the trunk but a spare tire and box of stuffs about 18lbs in it. And it doesn't matter if the tank is full or not.

Could anybody tell me if the top edge of the front fender is actually higher than the rear, hence the uneven gap? Or my rear struts are in fact broken and created the sag.

Any helps are appreciated. Thank you.

Is it AWD? or FWD? Some AWD models have been known to be higher in the front than the rear. Not sure if this is the case on the RVR/OS, but the Evo 8 was this way and I believe that was for that whole chassis 7-9.

It's a AWD model. I wonder why would they make it that way

Not sure but its probably has to do with ground clearance and potentially using the AWD off-road or in snow. That was a compliant people had with the Evo so some the aftermarket springs were designed to level the car out.

Thanks for the input. Now at least I know it's a comment "problem".
