    What about spacer in the rear and ball-joint flip in the front to add more height?

    Since vehicles "float" on the suspension, that's why you can see some difference in reverse (vs forward). As you back up, the body floats/pitches forward. The opposite happens traveling forward.

    Also, the rear chassis tend to pitch downward on launch. For reverse, the front would pitch down.

    Nice looking Proton!

    B J flip adds nothing more than a bit more down travel & a slight amt of neg camber.
    Ride height is established by the lower control arm via torsion bar adjustment....
