ahh nice one nick i think id want to go a little lower on back why do they put 25 on front and only 20 on back ? any idea

 

[NickCTR]

Maybe for better handling, just a guess though.

lol yeh.. stupid question i think i want to get a lower set then

Wasn't meaning to sound sarcastic there, Spoon do an all round 20mm drop so I don't know why Tein have gone 25 at the front, they must think the car handles best at those heights.

I would save to get coilovers, lowering the car on standard shocks is going to be uncomfortable over bumpy roads. I drove a car with Buddy Club N+ coilovers, and that must've been 35mm lower than stock, and it was as comfortable as stock if not better, because you still have the full travel of the spring.

Expensive at around a grand but worth it.

Thanks!
Did it make a difference to the height with the nitrons?
And is the photo just taken with the standard shocks and eibachs?
Thanks again

Nitrons are adjustable but are at pretty much the same height. The pic is on standard shocks and the Eibach springs.
