and fiddy how have you found tyre wear after lowering it is it attacking the insides yet
I have seen kits that lower the front further than the back also, but TBH, with the size and weight of a V6 engine, i wouldnt want it too low at the front. all mondeo's that are lowered the same amount front and back, sit higher at the front though, its because the front arches are bigger than the back. mine is a nightmare lowered 35 at the back, exhaust catches on speed bumps etc, and the rear bumper catches kirbs if i reverse into spaces, which i found out to my cost, as it cracked the ST200 bumper, hence, i always park in forwards now lol. it may not look lowered at the front, but when you compare it to the standard springs, you can see it is, although my front spring was snapped, so it sat a bit lower anyway

Standard



Lowered





As far as tyre ware, i havnt really noticed any, but as said, mines only lowered -35MM
