    Default Quick question

    Ive put ssl springs on my Berlina Series 2 and the back sits about 2-3 cm higher than the front.
    Just wondering if this is because of the standard shockers?
    And if i bought new ones would it fix this.

    Thanks

    I put SL springs in mine and they sit fine, the backs actually probably a good inch lower than the front with a full tank. Maybe it will settle out, or just get a few more mates to drive around with.

    shocks have nothing to do with ride height, the rear springs might settle a little bit

    yes they will settle a little normally a bit lower
    you need to drive the car around the block before you check (sounds stupid to some but you know)
    this is why i like coilovers in the front so you can adjust it up perfectly but if you bought a full kit should be really close
    if too low in the rear the springs will fall out
    too check front open bonet and stand on radiator top support and bounce it if it knocks loudy you are probably bottoming out your shockies but this will only happen if you get those super lows etc like a 3 inch or more drop just from springs!~
