Lowering Springs (lower rear more than front?)

[VforVinny]

Hi

The Puma as standard looks like its on stilts. The rear is higher than front. Does anyone reccommend i lower the rear more than the front to get the car level?

something like 30mm rear/ 20mm front ?

Or is it better to lower both rear and front the same amount?

When I did mine I made the wheel arches the same height above the wheel centre all round, although mine was level before I fitted the coilovers.

I can't remember exactly (a search of this site might help) but I vaguely remember 230mm being the figure - now I can't remember if that was standard or what I lowered mine to either :lol:

EDIT!!:- Just did a search myself. No idea where I got 230mm in my head :lol:
I lowered mine to 330mm to be precise. Apparently that lowered my Puma by 45mm.

Sorry for the delayed answer, only just realised I've been missing lots of new posts for months somehow :shock:

Ford TIS:
Ride Height Specifications:
Nominal curb height (wheel center to fender, measured at wheel centerline):
Front - 375mm
Rear - 378mm

In August 2010, with Eibach springs (-30mm), mine measured:
Front - 340mm
Rear - 350mm
Approximate, quickly done, as its pouring with rain.

Today (12 years later), it's not raining, so it's accurate!
Front - 340mm
Rear - 355mm
