Simple problem (I hope).
My car sits lower at the rear because of the ice, is there a simple way of either raising the rear an inch or so or lowering the front an extra inch or so that the car does not look like it is trying to take off?

Al m8, tell me more about those spring assisstors...do they lower or higher???

Mike, u might as well just get a lowering kit for the motor, they will not only lower the car, they will also make the suspension stiffer. u can lower the rear by something like 20-25mm and the fronts by 30-40mm and u'l have a nice even drop all round

Tha car is already lowered about 50mm.
I am hoping that there is an easy way of lowering the front end only by about another 15-20mm.

the only way of lowering the front end would be a new set of springs im afraid.
