   ive lowered my car 40mm on the front and today i lowered the back which i thought was 40mm but the rear wheels seem to sit in the arch more than the front. could you look at these pics and tell me if ive done the back by 40mm or more. This is the front. This is the back.

   it looks sweet the way it is, the handling is really well no need to go any lower, esp if u have loads of speed humps in ur area

   The front will settle down after a few miles mate,my front was higher then the back when I got my car back from the garage but it has to settle in.

    Maybe best if you take a pic of the whole car from the side with the car on a level surface.
    But nah mate it looks all good from here.

    with the rear being lower than the front it will make the car understeer if you drive it really hard.
    imo have the rear about 5-10mm higher than the front.
