do what I did, fit a big I.C.E system in the boot, no need to lower it then :winky:

put a couple of bags of cement in the boot

lowering just the rear will mess up handling and will also make the front alot higher

you could fit lowering srpings to the back only, but can't see why you wouldn't do the same to the front at the same time ?

It would look very odd mate.

btw what u doing Wednesday night ? Lexus Meet @ the Ace Cafe if you are free... I'll send you the details via PM.

If you fitted coilovers, then you'd have the flexibility to adjust the height of the front and back independently, to look the best as you see it.

General question on this subject. As an example, Tein Super Street coilovers have a standard drop of -32mm front and -25mm rear, according to Tein's data. When it says that the adjustable range of ride height is "min 8, max -61", do you know if this is with reference to the original ride height (i.e. you could set it to ride 8mm higher than usual if you wanted), or with reference to the standard drop (i.e. you could set it at the front to -32mm +8mm = a 24mm drop from standard) ? I'm guessing it's the latter, adjustment from the initial settings on the coilovers.

I got told off before for not using "g" at the end of some words.

def in wrong car to be worrying about mpg lol get a run around or a moped thats only way youl save fuel. a bit of weight should not make that big a difference. good couple of subs and amps should lower it like dj wozza said
