Default Coilovers and stance??

Hi All

My car was fitted with coilovers before i bought it and im a bit unsure on what the stance of "subaru's" should be .

Iv measured height and found the back to be 18mm higher than the front, so i have a nose down stance. Iv got to raise the front anyway as the arches have rubbed the tyres (Only on the plastic not into the paint work) And i could hear it doing so on hard cornering. You can kind of make it out here in this pic


See how low the front is compaired to the back? Should it sit the other way round ie. lower back and higher front? Or is it better to have it even??

Thanks

Dan

Either flat or back a touch higher than front IMO, not the other way round

Thanks for the input , gonna raise the front (needed coz rubbing) 5-8mm and drop the back the same and see how it looks.

It sounds obsessive saying only a few mm will make the difference, but stance is everything about the appearence to me

I like the look of the back being high, I think it looks more menacing I know its a different model but have a look at an RB320 they look so like that.

Yeah i know what your saying, i think im just gonna raise the front 5mm to eliminate the rubbing. Only happens on sharp heavy cornering.

Just got to get them un-siezed now!!
