Question BA Xr8 Lowering help

Hey everyone...

im looking at lowering my XR8, im not sure on whether to drop the whole car or just the rear to level out the stance! Has anyone done this or have any info?

I've heard that these XR's sit lower already than the base model BA.

I'd be looking at using King Springs.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers.

Adam...
