TBH, I Iiked the look of your stock height photo better compared to when you first dropped it. Now though, it looks better. It might be a tradie thing (I'm anal about panel gaps and things being square etc) but the gaps around the wheel arches look uniform now so it has improved the lines. The XYZ's do actually go lower than the XA pedders so they might have more before shockie bumpstop. That aside, I'll probably go about 5mm higher than than your current height, so good to know that has improved the ride. Cheers, Bomber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This puts the front arms level and the rears just above level. This means a better roll centre, Fugall bump steer from the front and Enough squat in the rear too maintain traction without looking 4wd spec. Once the arms get past level (ie the outside end of the arm is higher than the inside) as soon as you get ay movement in the suspension the track becomes narrower and you get a small amount of bump steer in the front end. Makes the car drive like ARSE IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the car drive like ARSE IMHO Mine is at about the same height too. Spot on about the reasons to be at this height, roll centre, keep front bump steer to a minimum and some height in the rear for it to squat and get power down better. It's all about the suspension geomentry, screw around with it too much just for looks and risk crappy handling.

It will tick both boxes. Make it look a bit tougher but improve handling and ride by having the geometry spot on. The whole slammed and negative camber crap just so you turn the front wheels is rubbish IMO. Eveyone to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
