front doesnt look low enough
#1
i lowered my dturbo 40mm on the front and 1 click on the rear. this was 2 days ago so not sure if I need to be patient and wait for the springs to settle? or just get 55mm or 60mm springs? would standard 1.4 40mm springs lower mine more?
anyway heres a picture! its on a slanted drive though!

Tha pic aint the best quality bud but I would go and get some 55mm springs. Imo 40mm isnt enough.
Mine is 55mm and after I took my splitter of I realised you can build a block of flats under the front bumper.

Any settling would have happened by now. The click method isnt the best for accuracy. If you are really after that extra bit, get lower springs. Personally I'd be inclined to go back up 1 click and lower the beam 'properly'

Different spring rates. 1.4 is a fair bit lighter than a DT. Just put up with it, get other DT springs or coilovers Smile

You will end up with about 60mm + on the front with them springs, but I don't think they would last to long, but you never no!
