Default do cabbys sit high at the back suspension

my cabby looks to be a lot higher at the rear wheel arch than the front one

was this the way they done or is my front springs need changing?

Front end looks lowered and rear standard so either lower the rear or put standard springs back on the front.

Hi mate
I have the exact same car. I agree with s2 cabby
Rear is correct standard height.
Front is a lot lower than standard

I have to say as well...
Don't go cutting springs, this is no good to anyone. Always use lowering springs for best rewards

Defo looks like it has lowering springs on the front. It looks like a nice car.

Front is lowered, back looks standard, I'd jack it up and have a ganders at the springs.

Hi mate. I've got the same car. I dropped mine all way round on Koni shocks 40mm spax springs. Looks nice
You should drop the back 30mm and you'll be sorted..
