Cool cheers. Thinking maybe just 35mm? Bit easier with all the speed humps and pot holes around lol.
So springs and shocks then?

Was sat on standard shocks with -30mm Eibachs :smiley:

Probably looks a little lower due to the heavy diesel engine in the front :grin: :grin:

how much is yours lowered by slix?

I think im going to with some jom coilies as that way if im not happy with the drop i can change it plus if i get new wheels it will be easier to get the right look.

Post by: s-l-i-x on 07 July 2011, 20:37: I have no idea :laugh: Got coilies. Can just get a finger inbetween the tyre and arch. Can't go any lower at the front though due to arb and driveshaft making sexy time.
