I lowered the tourer a few months back now. Im still unsure if i like the way the rear end is sat! Im now on my second set of rear lowering springs and they were both the same height. Just wondered what you guys thought about the stance of my car? All i can tell you is my springs are g-max but dont know how much it is lowered by, (im guessing 60/40mm)
Could you guys perhaps post some pics of the way your tourer sits and explain how much your tourer is lowered as im pretty sure i want to change mine.
Cheers, Scottidog.

cabby has more weight so your front will be slightly higher and a tourer has slightly more weight at the back so your tourer will be a bit lower.

Im quite happy with the way the front sits and a 2.5 conversion is underway shortly so im only looking to change the rear i think.

Cab rear springs are sometimes used on tourings and people say they are ok.

scott put the standard springs back on, and then proceed to load up your boot area with bricks until the required height is achieved !!

I've got G-max springs on my Sport that are supposed to be 60mm all round and your stance isn't too far off what mine looks like.
