Default 35 mm drop on classic impreza

Going to buy some 35mm lowering springs next week just wondered if anyone got any pics of this done on a classic with 18" wheels , also my classic seems to ride slightly higher at the front on stock shocks and springs , is this normal , if not any ideas why ? Thanks , dan .

The front arch is cut higher, so it has a bigger gap at the front. This saggy-arsed look is often addressed with lowering springs, that have more height taken from the front spring. Handling with excessively lowered springs is significantly worse. Lowering also causes rubbing, made more likely, by exceeding 205mm tyres on a classic, unless the spring rate is increased, or the arches are rolled.

Are you using stock or uprated struts?
