It looks more then 30mm in front....

[marshall]

definitely better... but I agree, looks more dropped in front... I hope in one month installing my racing beat springs and see what happens with my front and my rear...

[baumi]

Yes in the front its about 40-43mm in the back about 30-33mm.

I think that the diesel engine is very heavy weighted.
For me its to low, I just wanted to fill out the wheelhouses a little bit more.

are you sure you got the right springs? springs for the diesels are different than for the petrol engines.

[Red Boll]

Looks better!

Is this improving the handling of the car?
Now it's a bit "jumpy" accelerating of a roundabout... (compared to a MX3-V6)

H&R has just one type of springs. Weitec & Eibach f.e. has two types of springs.
Now I've installed m allow wheels and the german "TÃœV" said ok to drive with.

Handling is great, a little bit too hard.
Curve handling is better now, and the brake/acceleration nodding is better

I think your car looks good as is. Put some wheels on it and you're good to go. The drop you have now was what I was trying to achieve with the Spool springs I bought. I recently acquired some Ksport coilovers and I now have that drop in the front. Going to find out how they handle tonight. You might be better off with coilovers yourself but they do tend to get a bit pricey though.
