has anyone on here have experience in raising the subframe and raising the rear diff mount instead of spacing it down.

iv raised the subframe 15mm and the diff mount the same, afterwards read threads on propshaft angles being out and spacing the diff

anyone on here moved the diff instead or any advise,

thanks :)

There is no need to space the differential down, in fact you want it as high as possible!

yeah iv been looking at the above thread, all the searches iv come across they space the diff down so the subframe is raised and the diff is at its stock location/height

Lowering the differential raises the RC (Roll centre) of the car, which you don't want to do!

How does diff position affect the roll centre?
