why does the back have to be lower or level?? i actually prefer it to sit slightly lower at the front gives it a sorta mean stance. i also think its better for handling to have the front lower in a fwd isnt it?

If you make the back level with the front, then cool....don't know if I'd wana spend money on it tho...

...but whatever you do, don't make the back lower than the front....looks awful IMO :wink:

I heard Sierras handle like poo if you try to drop the rear more than the front. I think most Mk3s sit a bit higher at the back, so after reading that about the Sierras, I thought I'd leave mine.
