King Springs Advice needed
i just got my 17's rims put on and im wanting to lower my ride and its a BG SP astina and i'd like to lower it a abit and i just measured it from the top of the tyre to the top of the rear arch is around 70mm and at the front its 50mm and i dont want to lower it to much that if i hit a bump it will srub or turn the corner to hard and rip out the guard or something i was thinking around 50mm at the back and like 25mm or 20mm at the front but i kinda what the car sitting level so how do i go about this ? and i got qouted $430 king springs fitted so thats not 2 bad i reckon but yeh i dunno how to make it look good being lowered with out doing damage to the car or my good tyres and being able to handle twisties
