Only 2 ways of lowering the FRS - using H&R or KW coilovers all round or by using the standard shocks with H&R lowering springs all round - you wouldnt want to just lower the front as it will seriously upset the handling of the car

I lowered my FRS with the H&R springs and the cars handling feels much better

Best i could do with pics i have (although i'm more shocked at how much the car has changed in 18 months) H&R springs only lower around 15mm so doesnt show that well in pics but you notice it in the handling, especially if you fit the H&R anti roll bar kit at the same time
Before / Standard

After / Modded

Your car can't be 385 @ the wheels? that would make it 450bhp @ the flywheel? are you sure? that would probably be one of the fastest or biggest bhp FRS in uk? anychance of seeing the power graph as i would like to get that sort of power from mine!
