So... I've just lowered my Rs turbo s2 with koni yellows and 30 mm Apex lowering springs, the feel of the car is amazing!
BUT.. I'm not happy with the look.. It sits Nice in the rear, but higher/to high in the front Can anyone tell me why? It's been 5 days since i lowered it, and these pictures are taken last night.

 

And this one

 

A silly question but I do have to ask.

Are you running any audio gear in the back?

Also, what springs did you order from Apex? Do they do generic spring set for all MkIVs or one specific to the RST?

Finally, are you running spring insulators on the rear. That would lose you some milimetres if you are running without them or with very tired items on.

 

Only a 10" sub in the back.

The springs i ordered was specifically for the Rs turbo.

And Yes I'm running with insulators on, and they seemed in good condotion :/

 

If you think of it this way, as you look at your car side on the rear arch is physically lower than the front so if you lower it 30mm all round the front arch gap will look greater than the rear

 

That actually helped alot! I have never noticed it, but after you pointed it out, it's very clear, thanks!

 

I had the same problem with apex springs on a mk6 escort. I sent them back and fitted koni, looked good after that.
