Back end too low?

Does that look right to you guys? This is a FWD. I know the Legacy FWD had noticeably lower rear ends than their AWD counterparts. Is the same true for the SVX? Also, the rear end kind of creaks when I go over speed bumps. The car did sit for about two months before I bought it and I've only put about 3 miles on it since I fixed the timing belt. I'd just like to have a second opinion before I order new strut mounts. The measurement from the ground to the bottom of the painted part of the fender = 24 7/8". But note that it has 215/45-17s on it. Also, what do you think of the G35 rims? I like that OEM look. Thanks.

check your rear upper spring seats. mine was rusted out and lowered the car about 1.25 inches.

Nah, someone just 'gave' it to me for a grand and I'd hate to be a regifter.
