i installed my H&R full cup kit ( the tower and the springs ) during summer.

as it was a cool ride, it was bumpy. (that's alright cuz i know its bumpy) but perhaps my friend started to tell me theres must be somthing wrong with it. ( as he said it looks like rake style ).

heres a side pic

the problem is that he said the front's too low and the back is too high. what u guys think? i havnt added ANY pads, spacers nothing. they are stock H&R's.

there's no such thing as too low. the front looks fine; fine tune the rear with smaller spring pads (?)

the bmw looks like they didnt touch the rear springs.

most likely. when I lowered my car, we thought the fronts were the rears and the rears were the front. It came out looking like that. Actually the rears were too short for the fronts so we couldn't put the fronts on. That's when we realized that we had them on backwards.

its called SPORT RAKE!

even stock the car is a little bit lower in the front.

The springs are designed this way.

If you want it more even then get lower number spring pads in the rear!

i think it looks fine, i hate it when cars have the back lower than the front looks cheap

yes, but the rear shouldn't sit that high. It looks like they just lowered the front and didn't bother to do the rear.

but everything was a set, it was a full H&R product ( cup kit ).. so it cant be..

i heard that according to different country, the paddings ( stock ) on different cars are different. EG. the cars in american ( benz ) sit much higher than the ones we have here in HK.

well anyway, thanks for the comments guys.. im gonna go get it checked when i go back to hk
