How low should I drop back end if I intend on towing. Was thinking not at all but would like to if it is still possible

Depends what your towing? Max it out and even at standard height, it will probably tuck the wheels in the arches!

Just lower the trailer to match, easy to do, most small ones have really simple torsion bars iirc...

As long as the trailer is just as low so its not pointing down to the car at a massive angle and causing excessive nose weight youll be fine. Ive towed with a lowered 306 no troubles.

Sit it on bumpstops and slam the trailer too, problem solved.
