if i lower ma car 40/40 and put a system in the boot, will the front lift...?

so it'll be sitting something like 30/50...?

(2 amps 2 subs and a whole loada mdf n fibre glass in boot)

with this in mind, should i lower car 60mm at front...? so it looks something like 50/50?

yee-eez. 17's, et42

i am not lowered yet. going to get a 40/40 drop till my systems in, then if the front lifts i will lower just the front 60mm.

sound good in theory, dunno if it'll actually work though.

Well if you are sure the system in the trunk will raise the front of the car, why lowering the rear at all?
Or better, lower the front for like 40mm and rear for 20mm. -60mm at the front would be too much IMO.

If you lower it 60mm on the front you'll have trouble turning

no you dont need to lower ur car 60 at the front or want to. I got 40 drop all round on 17's with a boot with two amps, sub and loads of mdf and it sits better than the standard 40 drop and sits more even if u ask me.

so the simple answer is drop it 40mm and put ur sound system in and be happy u can still drive about without any problems.
