Tell me more about the spring seat adjuster in the rear please? Will it make the car lower at the rear? I have eibach pro springs and they sit a bit high at the rear still.

I have a set of FK coilovers. The rear springs have a seat that can be adjusted up or down depending on ride height required.
I removed this completely.

The change is amazing it feels much stronger at the front more precise breaking and steering. Well worth it.

My original bushes lasted one week with lowered suspension and 17" alloys the best £18 i have spent on the car.
