well i have three sets of springs (two parts cars) so i figured i'd give it a shot this way and if i don't like it ill switch it back. I measured the space between the front lip and the wheel and i got 30mm in the front and nil in the back so i might have cut a tiny bit out of the front. to bring it down to that 10-20mm that was suggested by littlefreyone.

Was talking to an engineer up here who had got off the phone with Murray Coyote that day, he said the optimal travel in a tarmac car should be 50-60mm on the front and ~40-50mm on the rear. So essentially it depends where your rear ends up.

well i cut a bit more off the springs as i was up around 30mm in the front and 0 in the back (spacing from tire to lip). so it looks a little bit better now. i just have to finish putting all the new bushings in and ill put up a pic of the finished height.

Saw you have an l18 to go in. Will lower it another 5-10mm with the 10kg over axle line
