haha it's too low on the front and i've started to wear down the inner side of the wings (only paint) and the arches are worn down too  :grin: Need coilovers ASAP which i will hopefully be getting in about 3/4 weeks times. Want to go to America so i have to get my priorities straight lol

its funny though, i didnt think 60mm would look that low on the front??..  mine was on 60s and the wheels were catching the body kit on bends, annoying as there was nothing i could do about it until now... you going to the states for a holiday then or something?

It does have lowering top caps as well which lowers it between 5-10mm apparently..Also it is a heavy engine so i guess that doesn't help!
Your car is almost back though now, just keep the work going :cool:
That's the plan, at the moment it's just a hazy thought, need to get at lest £1500 in my bank by December which should be pretty easy if i don't spend too much on mods!  :grin:

maybe you could get away with changing the top mounts to get back that 5-10mm.. Also might be worth going for different tyres when the time comes to replace them??  Yeah i forget about the weight of the beastie VR.  stick another in the rear..  :laugh:
