    Default VS Commodore, Lower Front or Raise the Rear?

    Hey guys

    So I ended up selling my VR and ended up with a Cressida which wasn't me so long story short I got my dads VS and I need to either raise the rear or lower the front as the previous owner before my dad, had the rear lowered with pedder springs I do not know the height etc but I need to make it sit even here a pic of there difference.



    What do you's think I should do as rego is coming up soon?

    Thanks

    yeah I was thinking of lowering the front more then raising the rear, though thought may be cheaper to raise the rear right now for rego.

    Its really up to you and what you like. To get the front sitting even you would need equivalent of superlows. Why does it need to be altered for rego? i wouldn't think it would affect anything being the way it is

    I like the way the rear sits but I am unsure of the rear springs height, in the photos it don't look too bad, the tire sits just under the quarter panel guard, and has decent clearance, I guess my concern is I often have a full back seat and think it would scrub out.
