This is going to sound really stupid :hammer: but when people talk about a 60/40 drop, is it 40 up front and 60 at the back?? or the other way round.

The H&R cup kit is 60 front, 40 rear.

This is a popular drop.

Yeah - 60 front 40 rear. It sorts out the way E30's sit as standard with the front up too high... gives the best stance imo

I was just curious as I'm running 60 all round and feel the front's a bit low and the arse is up in the air. Bought some 40mm (F+R) springs which I'm going to fit to stop the front wheels touching the arches when turning/going over a bump. Has anyone ever done it 40f and 60r?? don't worry I'm not about to it's just when you've been under a car all day your mind starts wondering :lol:
