Default wierd stance?!

ok, i have hade my tein s-techs for almost a year now, and i love them, but recently I have noticed a probelm
when i first put them in and they settled, i could only fit my hand in the wheel well on top of the tire, up to my knuckles, up front and a little further out back
well, now i can fit my whole had in there up fornt and almost both my hands, one on top of the other, out back
is it possible the my car has raised it self up?!
I am completley baffled

and no my hands havent shrunk

That is weird...Did you ever change rim and tire size since the last time you measured? The will have alot to do with the tire and fender gap.

That is quite odd.. did you change your shocks? People have said gas-pressured shocks can change how the car sits...

I have S-Techs and the rear settled over time to be slightly lower in the front, contrary to Tein's specs... I'm installing SensaTrac struts in the front (1/2" add. drop) and perhaps some minor fabbing to reverse the problem and even give it some forward rake.
