My dad and i just fitted a 60mm kit to my 1 litre and the front appeared to drop a lot more than the back.

i have read that it should take a while till it gets as low as it should, though im not sure to be honest.

the front is a lot heavier than the back due to the engine,

the back will drop it will just take a bit of time (just get a few fat twats in the back!!!)

also the back cant drop as much as the front or the springs may dislocate when the car goes over a bump or is jacked up

be warned it took about 1 year for my back end to fully drop!

the rear shocks are uprated (if theyre like mine) which means that whilst they are shorter they also have a spring inside them so they don't tend to sit down unless you add more weight.

I lowered My nova 40mm about 5 months ago and the Rear is still riding a bit high, I got 195/45 tyres and the tyre only just tuckes under the rear arch by about 5mm if that, been thining about dropping the rear 60mm
