    Default How much can I lower the front?

    Im thinking about lowering the front end of my Crewman to give it a more aggressive stance and still keep my load carrying capabilities.
    That said, how much lower can I go? Ill attach two photos of my car (its in the shop atm so cant take a better picture)

    From experience if you only lower the front your handling will drop by alot.
    Specially when you tab the brakes.

    Another option, If u wana lower the front You may be better of lowering the back a little aswell but you will have to get super heavy duty springs in the back to handle the load in the tray.

    Cheers
    Dave.

    Figured as much, I guess its time to buy some super heavy duty springs, I just don't want it looking like every second ute and crewman in Darwin. Since they are nearly all lowered

    What are they rated to though? Darwin is ridiculous when it comes to utes, I cant even put rims on my car.

    I think the superlows will drop the back about 30 to 40mm.
    Not really sure for utes thou.
    Give kings spring a call and they will tell u exactly what ur after.
