    Doesn't really matter. If want that 5-10mm extra low go ahead. It won't cause any problems either way.

        Toss the fronts. Keep them in the rear to combat the "reverse rake" look.

          Put the car on a set of scales and use spring pads on the light diagonal to get better corner weights. On the rear you can stack pads, but thicker ones are available.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              That's smart! Never thought of that before
