40mm on my 17's was kinda bad, so you could maybe go for 50mm on 16's, unless the back is stripped, in which case you cud go more

well i didnt really notice mine being any different, but a lot of people do go for diiferent sizes front and back.
I just meant if the seats etc had been taken out/stripped then that wud mean the back wud sit higher.

yeah you cud but whether you'd need ur arches doing or not is another matter. Some1 else off here is bound to have the same problem, i dont no much about lowering over 40mm.

if by that u mean that they rub - then yes. My mate hit his head off the roof ages ago out some backroad lol.
To be honest mate the best way to go is 40mm on 16's
Looks the best and handles the best, but then again if you think the back looks high?

yeah just keep it sloped if u cant be arsed doing anything else, cant be too bad.
If you want to go the whole way though it cant be too hard to do, just check the internet etc for places round ur way that do it.
Ur probably just being paranoid

It's normal, with standard suspension the car slopes down towards the front so lowering it 40mm front and back wont change it. I think its something to do with when accelerating the car leans back so it becomes level.
