I had my PT lowered 1.5 inches at the rear only today.

I think the handling has improved and the car feels like it sits better on the road and is better balanced. I also really like the look.

The big gap between the rear wheel arch has reduced and I don't think I will have clearance issues because the front is still the same height.

1.5 inch lowering springs were not easy to find but eventually I found Aurora springs PH: 08 83462276. The springs cost $148 and postage was $20. I had them fitted at an exhaust place who charged $60.

Thanks QuicksilverDon for the tip.

Hey Dot, what's going on here. You are getting them to come to you for piccy's. Tell me how you do it. Must be your charm. No chief not MINE & Plums & Roses started it !! ... lucky PT silver is just a minute cruise away .. and PIccy .yeap RTDV wanted to see the rear lowered AGES ago .. this way I get BOTH achieved .. MAYBE ...

Would like to do the same to mine but I'm only looking a a 1 inch drop. Have heard that dropping just the rear actually mades front end clearence better. I'm sure there is a post about it hear somewhere.

I have seen the results .. and I think it looks great .. RTDV had a good look too .... PT silver cleared the drive ways NO worries & Geoff says it sits better on the road too ... .. RT I am pretty sure there is a topic from earlier ref lowering too ... but tis OK I hope to keep this one going .... ON topic ... pictures will be added soon

I think the front end clearance is about the same as before.

A 1 inch drop would also be good. The wheel arch to tyre gap at the back with a 1.5 inch drop is smaller than at the front on my PT. A 1 inch drop on the back would probably make them about the same.

sorry for the delay ..
here they are .. stock standard Plums & Roses

PT silver lowered by 1.5" on back

Hi PT Silver, car height looks good,been thinking about it myself just wondering what type of dual exhaust you had fitted to your car
