Default Anyone drop the front 1/8" + more than the rear?

About can't stand it anymore and will go with the Stasis. It seems like the stock setup appears higher in the front. I'd like to drop it ever so slightly than the rear from the stock setup. resulting in slightly more drop in the front. Nothing drastic.

Anyone done this or better yet, does the Stasis SL come with this sort of "bias" already?

All coilovers are adjustable to whatever height you want...

The car should be equal front and rear or slightly lower in the front.

Default The best way is to set them so the lower A arms are level with the ground...

It will make the car look like the rear is still a bit lower than the front (if your looking at the fender arch / tire gap) but the front will be a bit lower than the rear. I hope that makes sense...

Default True with the arms parallel to the ground you are avoiding potential "bump steer" problems...

That's one of the reasons <b>not</b> to lower your car too much, the other being less suspension travel.

What I meant is that physically (not visually) the car should be level (the same height front and rear) as measured at its suspension points <b>or</b> slightly lower in the front so as it has a positive rake.

Default The rear wheel arch is lower than the front also...

so at the same hight all around the rear will look lower than the front.
