Just wondering how low my car is, it was already lowered when i bought it. The front bumper catches some speed bumps and it does'nt even have a splitter. (which i am intending on getting)

Iv got a new beam to go on that is supposedly already lowered 30mm. Just wondering if il have to lower the beam further to match the front or maybe raise the front to suit.

Any opinions?

Thanks

leave it as it is, looks good to me..

But if really you want to change something, raise the front a bit.

Do you think the back looks higher then the front?

So il have to tweak the beam to around 50mm to suit. Or just get some 30mm spings for the front.

Yes

Having run a 40mm drop front and rear, I'd say raise the front to be honest.

hard to say with the pictures being rather dark and not straight at the side of the car.

you need the back to be higher for it to handle anywhere decent.

I'd raise the front on some eibachs.

When you asked me to lower it on a computer I noticed it was a lot lower at the front than it was at the rear.

Is it generally thought that the beam be lowered to match the front. In this case 45/50 mm?
