Pics of car before and after lowering
« on: 11 March 2005, 23:27 »
I had my car lowered a couple of months ago and I said I would post some before and after pics but I'm no David Bailey and it's taken me a while to sort them out, anyway, I don't know if anyone is interested (except eyeletboy who's wanting to lower his sportline? :smiley:) but I thought I'd post them anyway. Just for the record, it's lowered on a budget kit called streetline (I think, or something like that) from ECP and consists of Ventura lowering springs and Bilstein shocks. Here they are anyway, excuse the pics, particularly the before shots, it's not a great camera but you get the idea and I didn't realise that there was so much space in the arches prior to lowering, so much so that British Airways used to have a flight path to Tenerife in there.? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: The surface isn't entirely flat but the pics were taken on the same level so you can get an idea.? :smiley:

Any comments will be duly ignored, unless positive !? :grin: :grin:
