thats how it sits now with the fronts lowerd, need to do the back to match... i think the rears are standard sri springs, i think there slightly lower than normal but im not sure, it has a rear ARB though. i did however do the unthikable and cut and bend the tops of the front springs, im not happy about doing this but it will have to do untill i get some coilovers as it was just rediculus how high the front was when i got it also, if you heat the spring up slowly, bend it slightly then let it cool naturally it wont go brittle and snap as soon as you go over a speedbump...... hopefully.

Dont heat and cool a spring.

It'll fuck it.

Either:

a: get some wheels that fit

b: get some new massive stretch on those tyres
