I have had my squareback at every height from stock to almost touching
the ground. Right now I am lowered about 4 inches front and 5 inches
rear. I have KYB GR-2 shocks along with EMPI front and rear anti-sway
bars. I also added urethane rear suspension bushings. My car rides
better and handels a lot better lowered than stock. When I get drop
spindels for the front it will ride even better. I also modified a set
of rear trailing arms(may be called diagonal arms?) to lower the rear an
additional 1.5 inches. Ride is good and the look is great.
Just my 2 cents worth
