Default Suspension woes

Just a few questions for anyone out there?

when i bought my ef about a year ago if had 15'' globes with a set of really chunky 235's on her. she looked pretty tuff cos the front end was standard but the back end was raised (like an xc). i recently put a set of koya 18's on her and because the back end is so high it looks weird as u can see below.

My questions are:
1. is it just me or does she look way to high?
2. what size springs should i put under her?
3. because i bought her out of a caryard and she is still under warranty will i void the warranty if i do it?

Matey ... Im not sure if you have a piccy anywhere but that would be helpfull to let you know about the ride height.

Spring size would depend on what look you are trying to achieve.

I would say at a guess the the warrenty would be affected but might be a good idea to call the dealer you got her from & just confirm with them. Make sure you get the name of whomever you talk to and keep a written note of it just in case ......

Assuming(due to lack of pic) the Koya's are 18" Octanes, i would put in either Low's or Superlows.
The lows will give you standard XR ride height, the superlows will drop it another 25mm.
