    Basicly I had an accident in my car(racing someone and lost it trying to avoid a fox) hit a ballard ... we shall brush over that... So I snapped my rear axel but now got one off a friend of a friend and when I got it fitted found out its lowered 60mm now it looks retarded as the front of my car is standard hight an the back is mega low ...

    What I want to know is do I pay for some springs for the front to match
    Do I make back a bit higher and get springs for the front to match(like 30-40mm lowered)
    Or do I raise the back to roughly standard hight??:-)

    That is all thank you :-D

    I think thats 60mm so its entirely up to you... Tbh thats about as low as you wanna go... Maybe too low... It handles really well!!

    My question is do I raise the back a bit and lower the front to match or just lower the front ?

    Do you really need to ask other people how YOU want YOUR car to sit? Do what you want! If you want it lowered, lower the front. If you want it standard height, raise the rear.

    Do you want me to pick out your clothes for you in the morning too? Jeez.

    I don't anymore lol I have chosen to make my car look good not go faster as I had left it standard looking and modded te engine now I realise for a daily use at that's a stupid idea>_<
