   Maybe he did it wrong? did he lower by notches by any chance?

   hmmmmm
   
   the back is higher than the front at stock height
   
   as above if he did it by notches, you cant ever get an accurate lowering amount
   
   mines lowered 50 front 55 rear and sits perfect on vtr rims imo
   
   ill get some pics later

   Depends on your alloy size. If you have VTR alloys then pretty much naything goes, 15's would be about a 60mm max drop and 16's would be about a 40mm drop. Either drop the whole car the same amount or lower the back 10mm further, my back is slightly low than the front (20mm difference) so 10mm may have it exactly level.
