Hello!

I have a AT200 with stock suspension. I have recently got some big wheels (215/35R18 (ET35)) and my ride is a bit high. Especially in the front.

Pictures:












As you see, the front is a lot higher than the back, which look a bit.. Weird..


I did some measurements (not perfectly accurate, though):

- Front space between fender and the alu wheel: 11,3cm
- Back space between fender and the alu wheel: 9,4cm


So, I want to drop my car a bit. Not too much, since I want to use this drop on the winter too. (A lot of snow here in Norway in the winter, you know) I want a look which is visible lower in the front, which makes an agressive look.


What do you suggest to drop? (On both back and front)


ANY answer will be greatly appreciated! smile.gif I really want to make the look on my car better!

It looks worse in that pic because you've turned the front wheels out, but does seem higher yeah. If you can get Spax springs in your country, go for them as they tend to lower more at the front than the back which would even it out smile.gif They are listed as 40mm but its more like 50mm or more when they've settled.
