E edde Sep 23, 2008 #2 nothing much stiffness wise 5mm front 7mm at the back from memory but tolerances mean that a ff can infact be lower.

ditz LY 182 Sep 23, 2008 #6 i've fitted the cup springs for ff's for a few people now b16doe being one,, if you think about it, the cup, standard is lower 7mm than a ff. the cup is lighter than an ff imagine for a second that both cars were the same weight, fit the cup srpings to the ff its going to be 7mm lower right? now put all the extra weight of the ff in there too,, you are probably looking at 10 or more mm lowering it looked better to me,, noticable
