Default quick question regards to lowering

say if i lower my car which is a mark 2 VTR by 40mm on the front, how much mm will i have to lower the back to match? i do know you lower the front by springs and torsion bar on back.

40mm on the front = 40mm on the back. That will match heights

Serious note: To get the side skirts level with the road then 40mm front and about 50/60 back

@ Furio-92 Might be worth measuring from the sill to the floor on a level road to see if it is exactly level. Then we no its 40/50
