Thanks for the comments guys :)

 

i think the rears fine front maybe 5 or 10m more but thats just my opinion

 

Thats what I thought, the front looks a little higher than the rear, is it OK to only fit lowering springs to the front??

Slam it to the deck i say :D

 

What is the car on now suspension wise ?

 

Is it a daily driver or weekend car ?

 

Are you prepared to lose some comfort in the ride if you lower it ?

 

If you lower it you really should get a full suspension geo done but to be honest you should get that done anyway unless its been done.

 

If you just lower the front you could could seriously screw up how the car handles unless you get the spring rates right that go with whatevers on the rear.

 

The other option is to fit a lowering spring kit such as the Eibach pro sport and do both the front and rear to keep a good balance, these are quite firm though and i'd recomend getting a drive in a car with some fitted to see what there like

Current suspension is stock, and I use the car daily. I do need to go over speed bumps on my way to/back from work, but they aren't too high.

 

The stock rubber lip will bend all the way back if needs be. You really should not worry about speed bumps even dropping 20mm
