mmmmmmm, tact.   Not seen that for a while, MJ??     ;D

TB swears that height is adjusted via the shocks, not the springs.

I fitted Irmscher 30 mm lowered rear springs on mine with standard MV6 shocks and it dropped noticably.

Probable that if you did the same but in reverse, you may end up with an increase in height.  

But there again, perhaps not......   :-/     :D

Would elite spring be ok on the back with MV6 ones on the front.

Right......pre-facelift rear springs are all the same.....

Facelift springs for sports chassis are different to standard.

Sorry for the hijack, but could you do the reverse?

i.e. fit MV6 lowered suspension onto a 3.2 Elite (both facelift) and retain the auto-levelling suspension?

Not easily - the self levelling would keep raising back.

Anyway, try the normal suspension first ;)

OK, OK point taken, I'll try standard 1st  :y. I was assuming that I'd change the springs and shocks; just hypothetically speaking  ::), would that work?

You'd have to lose the self levelling I think

If that's the case, I wouldn't even consider it TBH. Thanks. N
