lowering springs not lower on front?
« on: 30 July 2007, 10:51 »
I fitted some 40mm springs there a while back but the thing is while the back is lowered fine, the front is still sitting quite high. I've searched and found that I'm not the only one to have this happen, but I couldn't find how to sort it out? Any ideas?

Did you compare them to the old springs when you took them off ?

Think you can get lowering cups for the front, same as a Mk3.
