Lowering Setup - more on back than front

[Rick_172]

Hey guys, just after a bit of advice. I am running my 03 plate 172 on 17" Speedline Turinis with lowering of 25mm all round... the back doesnt look that low and have been thinking about going 35mm or 40mm on back...

I am getting scraping on front with 25mm, do you reckon 35-40mm will go ok on back? Secondly, you know if i can buy rear springs only from any suppliers... dont fancy payin for full kit again.

Cheers, Rick

Ive noticed that all 172s seem to be a bit lower at the front than at the back. Kind of makes sense to keep the weight of the engine close to the road. You might mess up the balance of the car by dropping the rear further than the front.

Just get an Eibach Pro kit - dont worry about all those numbers.
