I assume you mean the springs.

My front is about 20mm lower than the back, this was unintentional. I got a set of Whiteline springs which were meant to be the same front and back, but this is how they turned out. It doesn't look too bad, but I have a big problem with steep driveways and speed bumps.

On one steep driveway I managed to rip the bumper off 1/4 of its mountings and tear up the paint underneath :D I learned my lesson since then though and now I'm very careful with anything that looks even moderately steep. The big ramp and Broadway shopping centre where I go a lot to see movies *just* scrapes, but I think it's something I'm willing to live with.

I had the same with my fronts being 30mm lower than the back. I got some whitelines springs and now the car is fully level and it feels so much better to drive and getting outta steep drive ways is easier. Does it affect performance??? i don't know but i used to back off quite abit incase i hit a bump and the front dips and scraps....my cars new ride hight is 345mm measured from the centre of the wheel to the lowest part of the car. It used to be 315mm which mean i could even put my whole foot under the car :D

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
