Weight does make a profound difference to the height, my bilstein b16 pss9 are wound down all the way front and back but because it weighs 1100kg (despite being a 5 door)



To be honest though, I'm not sure I want it very low anyway, the sump is quite low.

Ye tis weird lol and annoying :) whole point of colies is so u can go low :D

Does taking rear adjuster out do anything apart from lower it a bit more? Is it safe to do so?
