Hello chaps!

After discovering I had a cracked front coil spring, I decided to have my VTS lowered yesterday.... But much to my annoyance the guy doing it got abit to ambitious with the rear end :wall:

The front is standard shocks on Apex 50mm (Ish) springs.

Now he's going to lift the back end tomarrow as Im not happy with it (Looks like its broken imo)

How much would you guys say it needs lifting? As it stands, It looks as if being that low on the back is lifting the front up...lol

Im thinking 30mm atleast to try and match the front end?

Cheers

It depends on your personal taste , if its only for lowering - looks

For driveability the rear has to be 20 - 25 mm higher that the front

strip it out, that will lift the back end to the right hight. back seats, parcel shelf and boot carpet. im always suprised by how much it lifts them and the noise is great!!

It now looks like the front end could do with a few mill lower haha!

Rear looks spot on now though, much better!
