after i had my alloys put on, i realized its sitting rather high. concidering i'm on 60mm setup. i'm on gmax shocks and dampers but on apex springs. the alloys are 15 inch. surely my car should be lower what do you think?

Apex springs are notorious for not lowering as much as they state. I had 40mm ones on my old corsa and it only lowered it about 25mm at the rear.

I changed them in the end for some bilstein 40mm ones and the difference was obvious.

apex are shite, corsa 60mm springs are more like 30mm cos i had them on my old car, but cav ones fall out going over bumps cos they're that low, get a decent set, gmax or spax should drop it the desired amount but the back will always sit a bit higher than the front as there's more weight in the front
