Lowering Thoughts Due To High Rear To Front Ratio

Hey guys :)

Another question about lowering.

I have already searched and have not found what I am looking for.

I have springs in at the moment f 60mm rear 50mm. I installed these after removing the eibach pro kit which was only f 40mm r 30mm, as I wanted it lower.

But I still have this ugly !Removed! higher rear so you have that slanted look, it is aesthetically horrible :(

so I have left in my rear eibach springs to be compressed 50mm so in theory this should be 80mm and I hope this evens out the difference as it looks off as well as chews the front tyres something serious.

I found this the cheaper option as it's only £70 as opposed to £630 for coilovers :o .

The lady said they may struggle to get as low as that extra 50mm due to the heat needed etc but I thought it was worth a try.

Do any of you guys have, or have had similar issues? specially going for as low as I am.

I am not concerned with handling more show car look, it sits evenly all around with about 15-20mm above the tyre around.

Many thanks,

Timmy :)
