heya.

Im just about to buy some new suspension, and trying to figure out what lowering amount id need for the springs to get it to sit roughly how it is now.

Can anyone tell from this pic roughly how much its been lowered by?

It does have the wrong tyres (205/55 16) so it would probs look a tad lower with the correct profiled ones.

thanks :)

I'd say thats an equal drop front & rear as the nose is quite high. Maybe 40/40?
