I'd say around 40ish. Looks nice tho cause its sitting level.

I'd say forty as well, get on to coilspring 89 for some -80's, rim will sit in line with the arch then

Mines 60 front and 35 rear, sits similar to that.

Dunno how anyone thinks thats level, its sitting up at the ar$e. Looks good though defo.

In saying that 80mm rear springs would suit nicely.

Or else park facing down a hill and the handbrake will sit her down at the hole lol.

the cars not level as the front and rear arches sit at diferent heights and the tires are just about level with them so id say front is 60 and rear is 40.

-40mm at the front and -60mm at the back on standard shocks
