    I think that is quite normal m8, most cars (not just Vec's or SRi's) are like that for some reason or another ?

    Prehaps the load on the front doesn't change much. I imagine if the car was full of people and the boot full that the rear suspension would be set lower, but wouldn't have much effect on the front. Just a guess...

    Dont know why, but when Andy (Admin) fitted SRi springs to his Elite, the car levelled out wonderfully - maybe the shocks are to blame?

    How much lower are Sri springs compared to Elite ones then, and what do they cost??

    Funny that! I'm looking out the office at my face lifted version and its the same, slightly lower at the back by approx 10-15mm.#

    Wish It was never mentioned its got me looking at the b***** thing now in a different way.

    I think it's the design/shape of the rear wheel arch -

    Of course, us Signum owners have to be different!!

    Looks like mine sits a bit lower at the front than the back! (pic is with the Irmscher suspension on). I'd have to have a look at the car to see if it actually does!
