Recently had my car lowered, about 4weeks ago...

Boyfriend did the springs for me, and I was really chuffed with how the front end looked, but the back seems like it still hasn't settled out, its nowhere near as low as the front??

Anyone know why this is and what can i do to get it to settle?

Thanks

It's a trait of front wheel drive cars. It's supposed to be like that. Sorry.

Scotty is correct.

I found that 35mm/40mm on front and 60mm on back made them level.

Seems to be like that on all hatches tbh and personally I think it looks better (within reason)

It's only really the frog boys who lower the nads off the torsion bar that get the back down
on its ring (like my old 306 :doh: :lol: )

Is it out by much? You could always get some slightly lower rear springs if your really not happy with it.

all above true. i sorted it with coilys, but another option would be to lower the car on a full lowering fit (springs/shocks). something generic like gmax/spax will do for appearance purposes.
although it retains the lower front end/high rear end stance it isn't as obvious as with just lowering springs.
this is just from my experience anyway.

Thanks for the advice guys... not too much of a problem now as i have just bought a 106 quicksilver and may be selling the fiesta if the cambelt is ok on the 106 after it died the other day!!!

How much are fiestas going for at the moment?
