Looks better in the edited pic actually (was a massive side on pic when I commented!)

Coilovers would improve it but think it looks ok as it is actually! Can't really tell you to get coilovers when my car sits about the same :tongue:

No you won't dave. You just have to be clever when setting up the suspension. What tyres are on now?

I had mine as low as it is now on 7.5j fronts on 205/45/16s and that didn't scrub. I just needed to adjust my camber n such

nooooo not orange! Every jade green mk2 I've seen with grey wheels looks awesome, I fancy doing my P slots in that colour. I would photoshop it for ya but it would take all night to draw around the holes in the boxter wheels
