I'm a big fan of the 'rake' look but with those wheels the rear needs to sit more or less level with the front to make it look good. Some wider wheels and some coilovers will make this car.

I'd like to keep the standard wheels as i like the way they look but i am going to get the back lowered (springs ordered) , only issue i have is that i've got a scorpion backbox on it and the clamps are right above the rear beam which means it does knock if i've got people in the back seat although its fine without, could i use a different type of clamp that would be more flush than the usual u-clamps?

Or turn the clamp 180 degrees?

I have tried that but they still knock a little when the back is loaded up, i think i'm just going to have to get the ride height down then have a look at the exhaust and see what gives.
