Wind them down, go for a drive that u would normall drive. If you get less than 10 scrapes, wind them down some more.

I cant get in/out of work without going at 45 degrees to the hump to get the wheels on it first.

And i WANT to go lower.

Post by: VR6-Joe on 23 May 2009, 23:32
My front coilies are all the way down to the bottom.

The rear coilies are up a bit because I wanted a bit of nose-down stance

Post by: ace on 24 May 2009, 00:39
mine scraps everytime i get out of my drive, thats with the smaller front splitter. i cnt fit the deep splitter without having to raise the suspension.

on the single speed humps i have to go over at an angle but the one that go across the road are fine. could drop the front a little bit more, but i dnt think my sump would last any longer!!!!

It may be becoming common but for good reason. At least they don't go pink if left untreated ;)

Spot on, I do like dragon green but if I was going to get another it would be silver, white or flat black again much rarer.

My vr6 was green, but do like the silver ones myself, even more so when the arches are fitted.

A guy on ed38 has a silver one with d90's on it plus he has left all the bodykit on it, looks stunning to be honest.
