Default Saph 4x4 ride height/suspension

Hi

I've had my stage 3 4x4 saph a couple of months now & im loving it.

The only bug i have with it is the suspension, its on 17 inch wheels & they sit in the arches what i would call normal, it doesnt look that low but the front bumper & exhaust catch the ground on any speed bump or large bump in the road.

Also i had it a a ramp last week & i dont like the look on the angle at which the front drives shafts run, very steep!!! if you go around a corner or roundabout hard you can feel the knuckels on the uj's are catching if you know what i mean, on the point of popping the shafts out!!

I want a good ride but a little higher, what would you guys say, standard or somthing like a 25mm kit??

Cheers Matt.

I had to raise my 2wd when I got it as you could not see the top of the tyres, raised 2 1/2", just as good now, mind you having decent non leaking avo's helped, too many speed humps!!
