hmmm, general consensus is slam it then.  :rolleyes: as i thought it would be.

well next job is change an engine mount, fit new bonnet that doesnt have laquer peel then i'll have another goose at the ride height.

spacers are a must, where's a good place to get some from? got no experience of these before so how big, 10mm, 15mm?  :undecided:

My car was definately an argument for slamming.




it just looks so much better.  Although I want to go lower.

As far as spacers are concered, I didn't bother, I quite like how it looks, although I am waiting on arrival of my banded steels...

speed bumps are troublesome, but rizzla papers are hardly even noticeable. Haha.

To be honest, it's not too bad, it feels much much more sturdy on corners.  It is stiff, but I've driven cars this low for a while so that has distorted my view.  I now think all cars at standard ride height look life offroaders and are too soft and bouncy.
