Is my cars stance okay?

[Ddppss]

My car stance okay? I have new rear springs 40mm - but the front is lower than the back. So the car is slightly tilt to towards the front.
Is this okay ? Apparently is helps with traction :s? Or is this aload of crap lol?

Nothing's gonna help a 1.2's traction to be honest though.

Noticed a massive difference tho after new suspension - sticks round bends a lot better and hardly get any under steer. I got over steer yesterday round a roundabout by mistake lol.

Front rake is ok on front wheel drive cars

 

[Ddppss]

yeah wont hurt anything

isnt low enough imo

 

[Ddppss]

Or is it just too much. If it is Il have coilovers - v maxx but the back spriggs where alful so replaced them with spax 40mm so on the front I can higher it a little.

 

[Spinksy]

dont worry about it mate, the rake there is fine tbh, and I was only joking about it not being low enough

go with what you are comfortable with ride height wise

Lol yer. Oh right thats alright then. I would like the back lower a little but ovbs I can't. But there are brand new so I guess they need to settle a little. -

Looks like the perfect height tbh - perfect distance of arch gap all around the tyre (key thing is the distance is the same all the way around).

I don't see the point in hiding half the wheel in the arches, but that's just me!

That's fine, don't worry.

The kidnapped child in my boot gives me negative rake

Bit harsh.

Bit harsh.

He's been there for about 2 years now.

I'm really not sure what to do with him.

Starting to smell TBH and the jelly bean air fresheners just don't touch it anymore.

Bad times.

Nothing wrong with a bit of rake, mine used to sit like this.

I noticed this on my old lowered 1.4 corsa d, was good fun but scared the sh1t out of me the first time lol

Okay so I'm fed up with the coilovers lol I had how everything rattles in my car. So if any one wants them im selling - gonna put them in the for sale bit when I buy my subscription. Also got some spax 60/40 springs (new).
