Don't go too far on the front. It is the a$$ that needs the lowering after all

yes its a hard one there is not much about in two minds
Did my qp with the h&r set. They were 20mm all round. The front probably could have gone 10mm tbh and the back could have done another 5. The handling is transformed in sport with an alignment also. I have noticed if you don't run in sport the back feels a little bouncy and bizarrely sport is more comfortable. But then who does that anyway!

Maybe Matt put my suspension on upside down or something. ;)

You won't regret it though and always reversible if you keep your old springs

Stick with a proper brand such as H&R and you'll be fine, it looks great too.

Once you've lowered you will notice how far the original wheels sit in the arches.. so spacers next...

I have a new set of H&R lowering springs in stock, can fit too if you like

I’ve got a set of H&R springs for the Ghibli (the current one) that fits non-skyhook cars. Keep that in mind mate in case any customer are looking.
