hi everyone, i have a totally standard 04 st170, i was looking to lower it 25mm to suit my new wheels, my question is do they all seem to sit slightly higher at the back? and will a spring kit take this in to account as i'd obviously like it to sit level, cheers in advance, steve

 

dont put it level in my opinion. its higher for handling purposes at rear. level it out and you will get understeer

 

I've lowered mine by 35mm using Spax springs and it still sits higher at the back. Remember that most of the weight is over the front axle with it being a front engined front wheel drive car.

Also, you must consider that it is essentially a family hatch so if you put 3 kids in the back and a dog in the boot it will be level
