    Hey, I've been looking at other Saxos and I notice that alot of them run the set up of having the rear lower at the back.
    Are there any advantages to this, I can only imagine this having a negative impact on the handling?

    Think it's mainly for looks? don't see why I think it looks naff.

    And I agree it wouldn't help handling, better to have the front slightly lower than rear.

    mines a track car. as the rear is very light i like it lower at the back (a touch) to balance weight a bit more.

    i thought it was because its hard to lower the front as much and people do the back first then mess up overall?

    With track cars its all down to personal preference aswell.

    trying to stop the back being so twitchy, looks, help front end get over speedbumps, they are the only 3 reasons i can think of

    If its set up corectly it will not be twitchy. if its lower at the back then it will encourage it too slide more.
