I know this sounds a bit thick but does my car look like its on standard springs, some pics below.
I would of jacked my car up and took a pic but my jack is at my mates.
There just black coloured springs.
My wheels are 17s, 215 x 45 tyres, id like it a bit lower as the gap at the front seems bigger than the gap at the back.
cheers

Looks standard to me bud, and it's not just yours they all sit that way

but i dont want them to rub.

Maybe
I did thnk about doing mine for a while, but then the local council decided in their wisdom to put speedbumps down our road so never bothered, my exhaust bottoms out now at standard height

speed bumps not to bad here, i could just go work a different way, if i put 18s on with 34/40/45 tyres would that lessen the gap?

Doesn't work like that mate, mines on 18's, 40 profile, and still sits the same

Definitely could do with a bit of lowering.
The rear on Scoobs always sits lower, and usually when you buy aftermarket springs, the front has a bigger drop than the back.

Dropped my classic, when I had it, by 25mm and it was fine - just did the springs - no probs with speedbumps or anything.

Torquemada

lofty35
